I've been in pain for 10 years and was told it was osteoarthritis,then 8 months ago I was diagnosed with psoriatic arthritis.Now I went to a rhematologist and am told I don't have arthritis of any kind.I'm so frustrated not knowing whats wrong with me?I'm being sent for more blood tests & a bone scan,but if nothing is found,I don't know what to do or where to go.I'm so depressed because I know that I have pain,I can't walk sometimes because my back is so sore :-(
