A member asked:
I have a lot of joint pain i've had a blood test for arthritis so it's not that i'm now being tested for fibromyalgia or lupus, it hurts so much?

See doctor: Need to know what kind of arthritis you have in order to formulate a treatment plan. Blood tests would not help in diagnosing osteoarthritis . Once the correct diagnosis is made , the appropriate treatment can be started. Have you seen an orthopedist or a rheumatologist? If not, you should consider getting started given the pain you have.
