Just had sleep study. found no rem sleep. could this be causing some of my joint pain?

Unlikely: It's unlikely that the lack of rem sleep is the cause of your joint pain. I couldn't comment on why you didn't achieve rem however it could be from many issues including meds.

2 unrelated problems: Unlikely. No REM sleep not good. Discuss with sleep MD. Discuss joint pain evaluation with your regular MD.
