what do i do?

Over the years i got hurt a LOT. my doctor (i hate her) says i have loose joints which is what causes me to have all my injuries. but now everything hurts sooooo bad. its like when you break a bone pain (ive broken my ankle 2 times and both my wrists), but it will last anywhere from a few seconds to a few minutes and hurts at random joints all day nonstop, however now its just getting even worse to a point where i can hardley walk cause my hips and ankles and knees hurt. not to mention im having a hard time in school with the writing challenges and also in band. Im terrifyed that i wont be able to walk some day (as in a few months) because its getting so bad. my doctor doesnt seem to believe me and over the counter pain medications dont work (IB profin, alieve, tylenol, ect...and i have taken them as directed for a few weeks with no help and i stopped because i dont want to become addicted). im also afraid i might have to drop out of band because the new thing with my joints is they will just freeze and i wont be able to move them for a few minutes. what can i do? ive been in physical therapy 3 times already and they say im fine and let me out.... i just dont know what to do anymore. and my parents dont seem to want to believe me either. please help anyone?! at this point im desperate

Thanks for the ideas, ive been trying to convince my parents, but like i said, they really dont believe me about anything still. ive been literally begging them to take me to the doctor for weeks now because its just gotten even worse. however, they just dont want to hear what i have to say because my cousin just broke his neck and back in a skiing accident (he is now a c-5 incomplete paralyzed from chest down, able to breath and has recently move his toes :D!) and my dad says that i shouldnt complain because what im going through is nothing comapared to my cousin. It is true, but i cant keep up living like this.
thanks you again you guys :D ill look into what you suggested

My first thought reading your post was that there was a possibility that you have JRA (Juvenile Rhuematoid Arthritis) which is something my own daughter had/has. What doesn't fit that problem, however, is that the OTC drugs you have taken would have helped you and you say they didn't.  Also, the description of your pain doesn't quite fit either, however saying that, I would still ask your parents to consider letting you see a Rhuematologist to see if he can get at the bottom of your problem.

try going to a diffrent docters to get an opinion. if ur parents dont beleave u, u should try and reason with them. tell them u dont understand y ur in so much pain and next time ur at home and ur hand freezs go to ur parent and show them u cant move it.
