Anyone have any ideas on what this might be or potential solutions?

Does sound a lot like psoriatic arthritis, but regardless of a diagnosis—your immune system is reacting to some stress , whether you have an underlying disease or not. Are you keeping a symptom journal: where, when, how bad. Time of day, time of year, activity, rest, what triggers or alleviates?
Meanwhile, lifestyle management: food is #1, start an elimination diet. Consider your environment: mold, chemicals, etc, & emotional stress. These 2 moves, journal & lifestyle, will provide you & your next doc with a clearer picture of your issues, give you a degree of control & hopefully help your symptoms without a bunch of speculative meds. Hang in there

@mlledaffodil I hope that you find an answer with hopefully a doctor that really can look at the whole picture!!! I know with me I have aches and pains and a lot of anxiety and whenever I have a lot of anxiety I feel so bad but I really can’t help it because the littlest thing gets me very nervous and I react by feeling really really really bad my joints everything feels horrible. I have rheumatoid arthritis and PMR. I went on so many medication‘s and they do not work for me I think I get so nervous with my anxiety that I get flares one after the other but I really can’t help it with my anxiety was around since I was a little girl and I’m 80 years old right now. You know it can’t hurt to do a little thing like breathing meditation nothing to lose and also eating healthy wholesome foods. some of the Buddhism phrases are really really good even though they’re from many many many years ago I try to use them sometimes when I can. for example one of them that is really cool phenomena is like a wave ever changing never repeating gone forever I will love them as a pass through my mind. Another thing I just thought about was doing really super Duper relaxing light exercises. Another thing try to keep your glass half full and go with the flow what do you have to lose. Hope you feel better and better each day my very best wishes to you have a happy new year!!!
