What Causes Muscular And Joint Pain?
I have been seeing a bone and joint doctor for a year now. He put me on pain meds but has not come up with any diagnosis except fibromyalgia. I would like a second opinion but i dont know what type of doctor to go to. I have severe muscular and joint pain, He has diagnosed me with tendonitis and bursitis in my knees and shoulders as well.

Hello,
I have studied your case with diligence.
If not relieved then possibility of polyarthritis needs to be considered
Rheumatoid arthritis may involve small joints and early morning stiffness in joints, do you have such complain?
Ankylosing spondylitis typically involve spine and hips with other large joint also. There is reduced chest function in this disease. Stiffness in spine is increased do you have such stiffness in spine?
When such patients come to our hospital I advise them blood test like RA factor, ACCP, ESR, complete blood count, HLA B27
Hope this answers your query. If you have additional questions or follow up queries then please do not hesitate in writing to us. I will be happy to answer your queries.
Wishing you good health.
Take care
