Fatigue pains: The list of what it could be is very long. If I could talk to you and examine you I might be able to give a better answer. Keep diary of what is going on with fatigue and joint pains and discuss with your team. They may want to order some lab tests or many not.

Need to examine: It is not feasible to provide a meaningful opinion without taking additional history, physical examination and may be some tests. It would be prudent to see your doctor and discuss if you may be depressed. Counter-intuitive as it may seem, exercise may help. Start with low intensity exercise such as walking and gradually increase the intensity as tolerated. Drink more water. Wish you good health!
