Bloodwork was fine, I did get dx with psoriatic arthritis this year, but my arthritis specialist doesn't think it's related to my other symptoms, so I'm at a loss right now

The reason I ask is that sometimes a new or a major life event such as surgery or some sort of stressful situation can cause undue neurological symptoms. It may present in the form of central sensitization, but isn't typically ruled as such until all other potential diagnoes have been ruled out or are proven inconclusive. Here's information from Cleveland Clinic on Central Sensitization Syndrome:

I have CSS and went through quite a bit of Hell getting to the point of correct diagnosis. I bring it up as a consideration to those who may be just as confused and frustrated as I was because many doctors are unaware or uneducated on this condition. Anyway, some food for thought as you continue to navigate your symptoms. Hopefully other members jump in with their thoughts or experiences. Do you plan on seeking a 2nd neurological opinion or having further tests?
