Joint pain, muscle twitches and urine frequency

Hi there,

I noticed I've been having increased urination for the past year at least and pain, swelling and warmth in mostly my small joints but also knees and elbows for the past 3 years. I suspect it's some autoimmune process. The joint problem used to be every few months and then became every month and now it's every week. There was also a week recently when I had it every day for a week, my fingers and a knuckle were painful and swollen. I'm on a gluten free diet at the moment to see if it'll help. I don't think it's doing much. I've been under some stress for the past year and have been getting muscle twitches, too. Not sure if all these symptoms are related and are part of a single condition. I've been tested for rheumatoid arthritis and diabetes twice and it's negative. Not sure what's going on. Any ideas?

Thank you.
