Posted , 7 users are following.
since i was young (im 18 now) ive have had constant pain in my knees and hips when relaxing, doing excersize, or just walking, ive researched this and my symptoms match, ive alos had problems with my jaw and was given the diognosis of Temporomandibular joint disorder, ive alos researched this in connection with this type of arthritis and they are connected, ive been to the doctors about this and the doctor said that she will do a blood test t see if i had arhritis, what a lie that was, she only tested me for aneamia, and i was very possitive on that, i have really bad aneamia, ive also raserched this and it has a connection with arthritis, i just dont know what to do, i think that the doctor doesnt listen to me and thinks that im over exagerating about my symptoms, its starting to make me depressed as i dont have any help, and the pain is getting worse, im finding it hard to do every day things like getting up and down the stairs, waling to work, etc, i just need some help on finding a way to get the doctor to listen to me so that i get the right tests done.

You are going to have to push to get to a rheumatologist. There are 300+ different forms of arthritis and no one but a rheumatologist will have the education to determine what you have. Be adamant. It's YOUR health. REmember, doctors work for YOU. YOU pay them, either out of pocket or by your insurance.
