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?

My mom has ortho arthritis and the doctor mentioned injections as an alternative to knee replacement. Are these injections actually effective and do they come with any side effects? I'm worried about how safe they are for her.
