Joint pain since childhood
I have stiffness and pain in my knees, shoulders, thumb & wrists since I was a child. I went to more than 10 doctors(ayurvedic, general physician, arthopedic & rheumatologist) till now & my all blood report is normal. no one in my house has arthritis problem, Some doctors say that you have a mental problem not a physical one & you don't have any type of arthritis But I can't play cricket because I can't throw the ball due to pain & stiffness, can't run, can't bat. It is increasing with age, Will I have to live with this for the rest of my life or is there any treatment for it?
