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.
Dr. Yusuf Suggests...
Take a RA Factor Test (Rheumatoid Factor) Test or Take a ANTI NUCLEAR ANTIBODY (ANA) Test

View allI have been suffering from joint pain throughout my body. My recent test reports show that my calcium, vitamin D, sugar, and thyroid levels are normal. However, my RA factor was greater than 120 in march and remains high as of july. My uric acid level is 6.50, and my RBC count is 4.99. Despite taking Ayurvedic treatments and regularly using Turmod, Rosiflex, and Artilon, my RA factor has not improved. I am concerned about the reason for this and would like to know what should be done next.

I have attached my RF Turbidimetry test report. I am 22 years old and weigh 103 kg. Is this normal? If not, what should I do? Is this reversible?

I am 18 years old. Suddenly, my leg got swollen, and my joints started hurting. Now my wrists and shoulders also ache, especially in the morning. I consulted a doctor and did blood tests, but everything came back normal. Why am I experiencing joint pain, and what should I do?
