Suggest treatment for low grade fever and severe joint pain
Patient: About 6 months ago I had an increase in joint pain primarily in my knees, beyond any pain that I had before, I became lethargic and could barely move at times. I have improved some and now my 26 year old son that lives with me is having some of the same symptoms. Could this be a joint virus of some sort? I have had a low grade fever on an off over the last month. Doctor: HelloI have read your query. There is possibility of polyarthritis leading to pain. I will advise you clinical examination and further investigation like CBC and Esr and Crp and RA test. Another possibility of viral infection leading to fever and joint pain.
