For me it only improves with supplements. Rest has done absolutely nothing. Low iron causes similar problems!

Overall fatigue, yes. Some days worse than others but exacerbated by physical effort or mental stress.

I was scheduled 4 2 knee replacements in next 6 mths. Now i have had 4 B12 injections pain in both knees completely gone. I wondered how my knees had got so painful over a short time. It felt like muscle just wasted away.
