maybe you can help me...

symptoms-
shoulders-grinds,pops,severe pain when throwing,fatigued easily,burning sensation,no redness or swelling.same with my left shoulder now.

neck-pain in the top of my neck into the bottom of my head,followed by stiffness

knees-left one hurts more at times,pops,grinds when extended,at times becomes very painful where i cant even put weight on it or straighten it.

i got my blood tests back today which were negative for rheumatoid and Lyme arthritis.pain comes and goes whenever it feels like it.so ive been trying to figure out what it could be and its making me go insane.i guess the worse thing to do is try to diagnose yourself.im 19 by the way..i went to a rheumatologist today and he basically told me and didnt know what to do.so he put me on antimflamatory medication and told me that i would have to wait and see if that would do anything.so what do i do.is there a different type of doctor i can go to or what?

ive been seen by three orthopedic specialists and i had 2 mris done on my shoulder and an ultrasound and still they cant figure what is causing it.and also had cortizone injected in my shoulder which did absolutely nothing.

the only autoimmune disease they ruled out was rheumatoid arthritis.

Seeing manual therapist, such as osteopath or  chiropractor , is advised. Dental professionals are not likely to help you. It appears that you have generalized hypermobility, which may be associated with Ehlers-Danlos syndrome, Did your MDs rule out autoimmune disease?
