I have had stiffness and pain in my knees, shoulders, thumbs, and wrists since childhood. I have consulted more than 10 doctors including Ayurvedic, general physician, orthopedic, and rheumatologist, and all my blood reports are normal. No one in my family has arthritis. Some doctors say it is a mental problem and not physical, and that I do not have any type of arthritis. But I cannot play cricket because I cannot throw the ball due to pain and stiffness. I also cannot run or bat. The problem is increasing with age. Will I have to live with this for the rest of my life or is there any treatment for it?

Chronic joint pain without lab findings could still be related to juvenile arthritis, fibromyalgia, or nerve pain. You may benefit from a rheumatologist review again. Imaging MRI or ANA testing can help explore deeper causes. Pain management, physiotherapy, and counseling also help if cause remains unclear.

For the past 10 days, I have been experiencing severe pain in both my knee joints and feet. The pain worsens when I rest, but slightly improves while walking. Today, I did some tests, CRP is 4, Blood Sugar is 151 (1 hour after lunch), ESR is 10, TSH is 4.5 (slightly elevated), RA Factor is 7.2, and I am still waiting for the Anti CCP test results. Please advise how I can reduce this pain.
