It’s been called arthritis but it’s not in joints but it’s a pain around my chest and back. X-ray and Ct scan have not reveal anything. GP says let’s try to control the pain first

Are you saying you have been diagnosed with the auto immune disease rheumatoid arthritis that causes pain, swelling and stiffness in the joints or are you saying you have not had a diagnosis as such?

Were you diagnosed with RA? Has GP given you anything to control the pain? If so, what and is it working? A little more info so others more knowledgeable than me, might have the answers you seek. All the best with the tests Bncc.
