I've been having issues lately with my right knee, in fact thinking about it it started about 20 years ago! When I was a teenager, that is when the knee pain and snap crackle poping started..
I went to the doctor back then for the knee and also for a rash on my face... Which led to Lupus testing and they did find an ANA titer then with further testing they came to the conclusion it wasn't serious! I also have severe muscle weakness, all my life... Also sometimes my back kills me and it is right now, grrrrr...
Years later, a doctor thought it was some sort of "connective tissue disease" but my insurance barred more testing. Later I developed thyroid disease, and the doctor found a very high amount of ANA and concluded it was autoimmune.
I see an Orthopedic doctor early next month for the knee, should I talk about this with them, or should I discuss with my general doctor about this and go to a different specialist... I know you guys can't help much but I'm not sure which direction to go... I'm just getting tired of all this medical stuff...
Tomorrow I see the gastroenterologist for gut stuff... I hope they finally help with the gastroparesis... I still can't eat normal amounts of food without feeling sick...

I'm also a suffer from chronic joint pain, which is sure to only get worse as i get older. my dad has had dozens of surgeries in the last 5 years. Mine is mainly in my arms tho. I have some right foot pain my sister says i have the same thing she has but i forgot the name. Honestly, I don't really help it sometimes i just hyperfocus and it's like the pain just sin't even there. and I'm just like oh s**t.
I've had tendonitis in my right arm in like every part of my arm 5+ times. absently listens to wrist popping My sister has similiar issues (she also has fibermylgia). My dad has EDS. Seems it's a bit genetic. It could definitely be a lot worse. I sympathize with you. Honestly I've only been to a doctor (besides my psychaitrist) like 3 times in the past 3 years. I can't imagine what my dad goes through. He had surgies on his elbows knees shoulders especially elbow knees and shoulders dozens of times. He got a shoulder replacement not to long ago.
