In end of July I had pain severe in my right knee and similar pain, but not as severe in my left knee. I assumed I injured it at the gym and let it be. A week after, both of my ankle began hurting along with my knuckles and wrists. Around mid August, decided to see a doctor and they said no visible swelling and it can be a viral infection. My doctor assumed the blood test he ordered will be normal and Naproxen will fix the pain. The initial blood work came all normal except for ANA test which was slightly elevated. Then my doctor preceded to test RF factor, again normal. I was ordered to submit more blood for C3 and C4 compliment protein tests as well as urine and all of it was normal so far. I requested to stop Naproxen because it wasn't helping my pain and it was giving me stomachaches. As of right now the pain has furthered to my spine and shoulders. Today I can not drive further than my work, or make a fist due to the pain in the joints.
Yet my doctor is sending me over to a Rheumatologist without me begging for one. I want to know what it can be so I can go back and work without being in pain.
