I am a 43 year old female suffering from knee pain, joint pain, muscle pain, tiredness, and drowsiness for the past week. As per the latest blood report, ESR is 39 and thyroid is 0.92. What may be the reason? Whom should I contact?

ESR is slightly raised, could be due to inflammation. Thyroid is normal. Consider early arthritis or vitamin deficiency. Consult a rheumatologist.
