Unfortunately,: It can only be guessed at on virtual consult because of the 13 various sub-types of this connective tissue disorder. It would require a physical exam by a rheumatologist familiar with the disease as well as possibly radiologic/MRI studies and specific laboratory investigation. Wish I could be more helpful but best to make an appointment with your doctor to discuss and obtain referral if necessary
