Please help to understand the pain

[aiskumar]

Dear All,

A year back i had a std infection, which remained untreated for quite some time. In march, 2014 i got the complete treatment and the blood tests and urine tests confirms the same. However, my doctor pointed out that there was some sugar in my urine, so i got tested for Blood sugar, and have been diagnosed for type 2 diabetes.
My doctor prescribed me Metformin (1500 mg daily). While i started taking the medicine, after a few weeks, i started feeling stiffness in my fingers in the morning. it gradually has spread to other joints and bones as well in a few weeks time. i regularly feel week and lazy. also i have noticed white tongue since last couple of weeks and have been taking fluconazole 150 mg for last 10 days...although no benefit.
fearing that it might be rheumatoid arthritis i got a panel test done. the test results shows everyting in the range.
(except uric acid which is although in range but on a higher side of 6.5 and blood platelete on a lower side of 155)
Please help me to understand why am i getting these joint pains....
I have also attached my test results....please someone help me on this....

Any kind of infection can trigger the immune system to start attacking your joints. For me it was a common childhood illness.

There is such a thing as sero-negative RA, which means you have physical symptoms but blood tests show little to nothing. I have been in full-body flare with nothing showing up in the blood until weeks or months later. If you haven't already, go see a rheumatologist and have the labs repeated, along with xrays.

Concerned about the combination of your RBC, RDW and Platelet count combination. While not out of range you are pretty border line and the combiniation of the three being borderline would concern me about anemia.

Please have your CBC rechecked at your next visit.

Has doc checked for gout?
