Question:
My hip is getting worse and I'm in pain a lot of the time. I'm also
sleeping ten hours a day, or more. Is the fatigue a medically-recognized
consequence of pain? I'm trying to figure out if I'm lazy, depressed, or
just ill, and I can't really google up anything about this.
Answer:
Have you modified your diet significantly recently?
I understand that caffeine withdrawal can cause both pain and fatigue.
Some suggest declining the amount of caffeine gradually can prevent
those symptoms.
I posted some info on possible links between infection and Chronic
fatigue. I can provide links if you're interested.
