Why does my whole body hurt and I feel tired?

Various forms of arthritis can lead to persistent pain. Rheumatoid arthritis, an autoimmune condition, causes inflammation in the joints that results in pain and stiffness.

Osteoarthritis, more common with aging, involves the deterioration of cartilage, leading to joint pain and reduced mobility.

Treatment typically includes anti-inflammatory drugs, exercise therapy, and sometimes surgical intervention.

Infections

Many infections—viral or bacterial—can bring on muscle aches and general fatigue.

Illnesses like influenza, dengue, or even minor infections can trigger the immune system, producing symptoms such as fever, muscle soreness, and exhaustion.

If an infection is suspected, seeking medical care for diagnosis and proper treatment is important.

Stress and Anxiety

Mental stress and anxiety often show up as physical symptoms.

Chronic tension can lead to muscle pain, while anxiety can interfere with sleep and leave you feeling drained.

Techniques such as mindfulness, meditation, and professional counseling can help relieve these effects.
