I've been having these symptoms for about 7 months now, like this weird internal fever where I feel hot inside, but it doesn't show up on a thermometer. I also get frequent headaches and this annoying pain in my joints, especially in my hands and legs. It's gotten to the point where I'm just not motivated to do anything. What do you think might be going on with me?

View allI've been dealing with this pain in my left shoulder for the last few days. It's really uncomfortable and even spreads to my upper chest when I breathe. On top of that, I'm noticing pain in my joints, mostly in my wrists and fingers. It's pretty worrisome, and I'm not sure what's going on. Can you give me some advice on what this might be?

I've been experiencing these body aches and mild fever every few weeks, like clockwork, about every 20 days. The aches are really intense, to the point where even my ears and fingers hurt, and I just feel feverish. It's weird because sometimes I think I have a fever, but when I check with a thermometer, it usually reads normal. Even so, I feel this internal feverishness and a general sense of weakness. What could be causing these recurring body pains and this mild feverish feeling? Is there something going on that I should be worried about?
It sounds like you might be experiencing recurrent episodes of a viral infection, inflammatory response, or an underlying autoimmune condition. Conditions like rheumatoid arthritis or viral infections can cause body aches and a low-grade fever, even without a measurable temperature increase. Its important to consult a doctor to rule out any underlying causes and get a proper diagnosis.

My ESR rate came back as 20.5. Is that considered normal or high for a 23-year-old male? Ive also been feeling tired, dizzy, and sometimes have trouble breathing. My hemoglobin is 14, which I know is normal, but could these symptoms be related to my ESR?
An ESR (Erythrocyte Sedimentation Rate) of 20.5 is slightly elevated for a 23-year-old male, as the normal range is typically between 0-15 mmhr; combined with your symptoms of fatigue, dizziness, and breathing discomfort, it's essential to consult your doctor to rule out underlying conditions such as inflammation, infection
