Hi.. I m a 41 yr old strength and conditioning coach in New Orleans . For the past year and a half I ve dealt with just one major issue; achilles tendonapthy. However , in the past 6 months, I ve noticed some issues : tired all the time, low energy, low sex drive and joint pain. In the last month, all of the above have worsened especially with inflammation and severe joint pain in all of my joints with some numbness in my fingers.. I excercise regularly and have noticed that my strength has steadily declined as well . Should I be concerned with any thyroid issues? And lastly , in the past week , it s been hard to even get out of bed bc of the joint pain and stiffness in my neck, feet, elbows, etc.. Any suggestions
Kindly meet either of the specialists as they will surely help you. As you mentioned the joint pains I recommend you to visit an orthopedic specialist or a rheumatologist. Post that you need to meet a physical therapist for the guided exercises. Try doing regular breathing exercises. As you have been exercising from a long time your body has landed into adaptation onto acceptance for the same. So you need to meet a proper physical therapist to guide you break the adaptation.
