Fibromyalgia: This is a condition in which severe pain and fatigue are felt in the muscles and bones. It is often exacerbated by lack of sleep and mental stress.
Obesity and lifestyle: When you gain weight, it puts excessive pressure on the joints. This increases inflammation in the body and causes pain and swelling.
Nutritional deficiency: Deficiency of vitamin D, vitamin B12, and magnesium can cause muscle pain, joint pain, and widespread body pain.
Metabolic Issues: Conditions such as high uric acid levels (gout) and hypothyroidism can cause fluid retention in the body.
