I feel like ive got arthritis but test came back clear?

Very achey all over, especially in the morning, and i get very cold hands and feet. im taking glucosamine and have been for about 6 months but its not made much difference. Are there other illnesses that show the same symptoms?I feel like ive got arthritis but test came back clear?
well......the test you say,what test was done...were you tested for RA......did they do a lupus test.....also,did they do a thyroid panel....do ya smoke......do ya have diabetes.......several things can cause these symptoms....good luck.......lasttly,osteoarthritis an cause pain,but,there is no blood tests...........I feel like ive got arthritis but test came back clear?
Your symptoms are identical to ones Iused to have except I was beyond achey into very painful. I also came up negative for arthritis and in the end the doctor said it was fibromyalgia. It was neither - it was food sensitivites and the pain was gone three days after removing the offending items from my diet.
Lyme Disease (do you live in or have you visited an area where there are ticks?)





Fybromyalgia





Chronic Fatigue





Sleep Apnea





Depression





Take the advice of the others. Go for a complete physical check up and pose some of these problems to your doctor.





Best wishes.
Have your doctors check your antibodies? See if there is something wrong with it. I have a patient who are achy in the morning and also have stiff joints.
Sounds like you need a complete blood workup with a CBC, CMP, and Thyroid Level Check. Women need a hormone level check as do men (depending on your age). You might ask your physician about a magnesium supplement (I use a powder supplement that you mix in water). You may also consider seeing a chiropractor to make sure your neck and back are in good alignment. The cold hands and feet suggest you may have some circulation problems, so make sure to have him or her check for anemia and pernicious anemia as well.





Sounds to me like you need a TOTAL physical to see what's going on.





Good luck and Peace,
