Unknown reason for joint pain for more than 11 months

Hello all, for about 11 months now I have been having unexplained joint pain on both my fingers, wrists, elbows, knees, & ankles. I've gotten x-rays on my wrist around October 2016 and it turned out fine. I've been tested for arthritis and lupus but it came negative. I've tried pain killers, rubbing alcohol, and voltaren gel but nothing helps.

I'm female and 16 years old btw

Just a thought, I had the same problems a few years ago. I called it "stoving up." Only a good night sleep would help and then only sometimes. I was finally diagnosed with APS (a blood condition). I think being overweight was part of developing it because when I lost weight it went away. I had a couple of pulmonary embolisms first though. It's a cheap, easy blood test, but most medical professionals have never heard of it. It's ANTIPHOSPHOLIPID ANTIBODY SYNDROME, or Sticky Blood. APS. Good luck!
