What Causes Muscle And Joint Pain?
I have been experiencing pain in my joints and muscles for many years. Recently, I am having pain all over my body and now my jaw is starting to hurt constantly. My doctor says it is arthritis but I feel it may be something else. I do suffer from IBS and recently I have been overly emotional. Could these be signs of something other than arthritis?

Hi
Arthritis means joint inflammation. But what is the cause has to be seen by investigations especially of blood. If they indicate any specific type than drugs are given to control damage and reduce inflammation and pain.
