? : What kind of blood tests? Might not be the ones needed to discover the cause, at any rate we treat patients not blood tests, please get your child to be seen again by her doctor, better a rheumatologist/pediatric rheumatologist, get a second opinion if she still suffers, it's your right, wish you both wellness,

See answer: It's not possible to offer advise on the basis of the information given. The list of possibilities is long. They would include systemic disorders such as Rheumatoid arthritis and other autoimmune disorders, arthropod-born viral infections etc etc. If the symptoms persist without an explanation ask your physician to refer you to a specialist.
