Trackers by Richard MacManus and Your Life, Uploaded by Gordon Bell are two great books on QS, but neither have a practical focus.
The talks posted to quantifiedself.com can be a good source of inspiration, too.
If you need more hand-holding, there are services that try to give you tailored advice, e.g. Sleepio for sleep, InsideTracker for nutrition, and Addapp or Dacadoo for more general advice.
For the fat percentage, I use a tool like this one:
https://www.amazon.com/Measurement-Percentage-Measure-Measuring-Skinfold/dp/B07C39XY34
Then, Muscle % is a lie because I do the BodyMass*(1-fat), so I'm assuming Muscle = whatever is not fat, but it's a simplification that I'm comfortable working with.
I wanted to do the same thing!
After some research, I found that Accu-Chek FastClix lancing device [2] was one of the best lancing devices, and I've found that the prick induces only a tiny amount of pain. The kit [1] I bought has the lance, the meter, and some strips and it's only $12! Good luck

Do you have this one? Withings / Nokia | Body - Smart Weight & BMI Wi-Fi Digital Scale with smartphone app, Black https://www.amazon.com/dp/B0728K4371/ref=cm_sw_r_cp_api_i_kNoRCbM0WH54Y
The Wirecutter says the app is bad now but if I don't use that as my dashboard and instead use Apple Health or Gyroscope I don't see a problem.
I had a DXA recently but I can find body fat percentage on the report.
The nutrition data. It's definitely an issue with Gyroscope and not MyFitnessPal because when the data in Apple Health is correct (no duplicates, etc) it's off by about 1,000 calories. It only happens every once in a while.
If it's body stiffness related pain:

If it's neuropathy:
I heard L-carnitine might help. I can't confirm this though.
