Aches and Pains

History

A 76-year-old woman has felt non-specifically unwell for about 10 weeks. She feels stiff especially when she gets up in the morning. She struggles to get out of bed by herself and she has difficulty lifting her hand to comb her hair. She has also noticed some pain in her knees and fingers. She has lost 4 kg in weight, and has noticed some sweats which seem to occur at night. She has come to see her general practitioner (GP) because a new problem has arisen. For the last few days she has had a constant severe headache. On direct questioning she says that she has had pain in her jaw when chewing. She has previously been fit with no significant past medical history. She lives alone. She has not smoked for 40 years and she only drinks alcohol at Christmas. She is taking no regular medication. She has tried some paracetamol but this has not helped the headache.
