What Causes Discomfort In The Knee Joints?

Hello, I m a 57 yr old male and have been having issues with my joints and bones that I believe is a little much considering my age. I have had both knees replaced, five lower back fusions, my right wrist is fused. Now i m having issues with my left ankle and both elbows. My doc has tested me for arthritic markers in bloodwork and tells me everything came back negative. What gives? Now they ( my ortho docs have me scheduled for an MRI of my ankle (L), and they have told me I have a mass in the bones in my foot and the ankle is ate up with arthritis?

MRI would help in knowing the exact cause of the problem.
