Brief Answer:
Joint Hypermobility

Detailed Answer:
Good evening

thank you for writing on health care magic

Well, the sort of symptoms you are describing does look like Beningn Joint hypermobility syndrome as it characterstic symptoms of joints cracking along with stiffness and increased aches after activity. Considering you have extensively evaluated for all sorts of arthritis with no cause found, it is less likely to be a serious one but then again something is troubling you. So we need to give you the diagnosis where you can work upon

I could not find the reports of your bone scan on here. If you could attach it along with the other arthritis reports that would be helpful

Secondly, I would like you to test yourself with Beighton score, you can find it on google( joint hypermobility) and see how many joints fit in with you. That would more or less give us the diagnosis.

Do let me know these 2 queries. Would guide you further on how to manage it once we have the diagnosis

PS: Dont stress your joints out by those clicking sounds or else it will keep putting stress on the cartilage underneath


Await your reply

Regards
Dr Naval
