Get rheumatologist: There appears to be a widespread arthritic issue here, but I do not see a unifying diagnosis. Appropriate radiological studies should provide reliable anatomical answers, but do not understand your concern regarding something "missed". You need to get this entire picture clarified, especially at your age. (e.g., do you have ankylosing spondylitis, or an inflammatory arthropathy?)
