Rheumatologist: If you have not already seen a rheumatologist for your problems, then i strongly suggest that as a next step for you. It is hard to give an accurate answer without a physical exam and a full history of your problems and lab tests and x-rays. You need an accurate diagnosis to know your treatment options.
