Hi,
In my clinic I have seen many such cases. I usually start with detailed discussion to understand nature of symptoms,family history and other physical examination. We will have to take some investigations like CBC, Rh Factor, uric Acid, ECG, blood pressure and other assessment depending on problems. I would consider some pain killers like Nimesulide in safe dose to get some relief for my patient till I reach some diagnosis. I would suggest a rheumatologist can tackle problem more efficiently
Take care. Hope I have answered your question. Let me know if I can assist you further.
