Worried and confused!!

Hi all, this is the first time iv posted, over a year ago I started having severe tiredness (put it down to being working mother with 4 kids) about a month later started having severe intermittent shoulder, like a burning sensation, then shortly after started having really severe itching on the my legs and back of my head, doc sent me for chest and shoulder X-rays, everything normal, he then referred me to a consultant at the hospital, while waiting for the appointment I started to develop pains in the joints of my fingers which was worse in the mornings, shortly after a developed a swelling just above the crease of my left elbow which is made worse by carrying heavy it's and getting blood drawn from the arm but does also happen when resting and a hardening of the crease of my right elbow, I get swelling from that elbow to the wrist when I'm busy with that arm,  my gp now suspects lymphedema is the cause of my problems, however the consultant totally dismissed me!! Told me lymphoma was a worry but he wasn't willing to do an MRI on someone quite so young, this made me so angry, said he'll see me in 4 months...anyway for the past 3 days iv had bad pain in my right arm but I can't pinpoint the pain if that makes any sense, it's an ache and it's not made any worse or better with activity or resting, my finger pain in both hands have also increased, could this be arthritis??? My doc says no but I'm not so sure, I'm 32 and feel like I'm falling apart, I'm also dealing with bile stone attacks 3 and 4 times a week, I'm at my whits end with it :(

I would suggest seeing a Chiropractor, since all the tests are coming back showing nothing is wrong, a chiro might be your solution, alot of your symptoms, I believe, could be helped by one. It would sure be worth a try.
