Hi all, very new to posting on forums! But I’m after a little advice.
So I’ve had joint pain for as long as I can remember dating back to childhood and was having numerous tests for juvenile arthritis… nothing ever came from it (moved around a lot so inconsistent GP appts) so I’ve always had joint pain, in 2016 I randomly woke up one morning with a swollen knee on the right side to which I couldn’t walk and ever since then I’ve had consistent widespread pain. I’ve had vitamin D tablets, Bloodtest after blood test, MRI scans and Rheumatology appts and never had any information given to why I experience pain. In the past few years I’ve been having numbness in my hands to the point I can’t grip my steering wheel while driving, struggle holding my LO. I have taken the online Fibromyalgia test and it points to that but is there anything else it could be? I have many other symptoms but pain being the most persistent as I feel pain everyday, not always bad that I can’t go about daily life but it’s noticeable. Hope this all makes sense
I’ve been keeping a pain diary as I have another rheumatologist appointment in August which I’ve attached, this is just a snippet.
