Have you had any possible exposure to a tick? Have you been tested for Lyme disease? You would need a Western Blot, not an Elisa (ask for it) and a doctor who interprets it correctly. Lyme doesn't always test positive unfortunately but it might be worth considering.

Is there swelling when you have pain? Do you react to the sun?

Not that I know of but I wouldn't rule it out. What kind of dr would I need to see for this? My PCP is pretty well written it off and wants to refer me elsewhere which is why I've been referred to orthopedics.

I swell slightly at the joints but I don't react any differently from the sun than normal. I'm pale and burn easily lol
