Hi sorry to hear about your pain. I have same in joints & muscles. I am diagnosed with Osteoarthritis with inflammation. Have you not been diagnosed with any type of arthritis. You need to keep pushing for more tests ( xray ) perhaps.... take care

Hi Purelight247

Sorry to hear you are in so much pain. I have Osteoarthritis and I also have Fibromyalgia. This is diagnosed through a physical examination by a Rheumatolagist. It can be extrealy painful, and leaves you exhausted despite a lot of sleep. If you get a referral for a Rheumatologist make sure they specialize in Fibro as a lot of the medical profession do not believe in its existence. Hope you get a resolution to your pain soon.
