What Causes Severe Pain In The Joints When Diagnosed With Polyarthralgia?

I know you re at a great disadvantage here but here goes. My 35 yr old son is suffering from very severe pain in his joints mostly on his right side but not always. I have to help get him out of bed so he can go to work. It started abruptly about 5-6 wks ago. He has insurance but so far the doctors he s seen have been no help. I m of the opinion that finding the right doctor is mostly luck from my experience. He s been to the emergency room twice but there s really nothing they can do except tests. They diagnosed him as having POLYARTHRALGIA. We don t know where to go from here. Any ideas? Thank you.
