Is it Arthritis?

Question
Hi there, I have terrible pain in both wrist and knees and the movement is getting stiffer and more painful. A doctor did some blood work and said it's not arthritis. What else could it be. No, I don't over use my wrist in any way, nor my knees. Thank you so much!

Answer
I'm sorry you're in pain.  Continue to work with your doctor to rule out other diseases that cause joint pain, like osteoarthritis and fibromyalgia.  Osteoarthritis would be seen on an x-ray, and fibromyalgia is often the explanation for bilateral pain after everything else is ruled out, which takes some time and testing.
