Here is my problem...

Sandy~ Have you been to a rheumatologist? I'm not sure about the bruising but I know the joint pain could be something arthritic. I know you aren't old enough to have degenerative arthritis but I'm thinking of things like rheumatoid arthritis, lupus, etc. I have rheumatoid arthritis myself and if it weren't for the medication I take bi-weekly, I would be in bad shape. It looks like you've been given some ideas on what to do. I hope one of these will help you soon! Sandra

Sandy, My ifrst thought that also of a rheumatoligist for any of the numerous arthritis diagnosis'. From rheumatoid to psoriatric arthritis. I have the psoriatric arthritis so know all about the pain factor. Yet it could also be that muscle problem that Toni mentioned. Our bodies sure have numerous things that can go wrong with them. The pain clinic may also be an answer for you. It is curious about the bruising and that your physcian can't seem to fnd you an answer. The very best to you and will be praying for you also. Brenda
