I’m a 37 year old female. I have intermittent joint pain especially in my wrists, fingers, elbows & shoulders. Sometimes in my hips, ankles and knees too. Have been tested for gout & arthritis but no positive results. What else could it be? Thanks!

Thanks for your answer! I saw a rheumatologist who did those tests, did an x-ray of a painful shoulder and never got back to nor responded to any of my enquiries after. It was an expensive & frustrating exercise and 3 years later I still have joint pain.

I’ll have to try and find another one! Thanks for your time.

Thank you, I will keep trying. My best friend has CFS/ME and in comparison my joint pain feels minimal but her struggle to get diagnosed reminds me that it does take fighting for yourself to get a diagnosis.

Hope you’re doing well!

That’s great though that he did! I’m glad you stood up for yourself!
