I have intermittent pain, mild to quite severe everyday. It has become disabling, both hands, neck, shoulders


muscles over back rib cage spasm, lower back so bad, I cannot stand, bend, walk for 10 mins, left heel (plantar fascitis) but have been treating it for over a year w/no relief. Saw ortho docs for hands and feet to no avail. Rheumatologist ran blood work that came back negative for arthritis. Hand surgeon feels it is probably a "systemic connective tissue disorder" and states you can have arthritis even though the blood work is negative. Any one out there have an idea of what I might have? and/or suggestions for how I might approach my next visit with the Rheumatologist? Or suggest another specialist?

I suggest that you look into a pain clinic which can be very very helpful to you in getting all the answers you are looking for and save you from the pain and agony you are experiencing, i have no degree but also suggest being checked for lupus. I received epidural steroid injections in my spine for the exact symptoms you described and am suffering with systemic lupus. Best wishes in your medical journey don't give up it took them 8 years to diagnose me all they did was try to keep me as comfortable as they could with pain medication in the mean time, many thoughts and prayers to you. God Bless Kerrie Ann

Check into Fibromyalgia "FMS." Sounds like you might find that many of the symptoms you describe are similar. I have put info on Mixed Connective Tissue Disorder and FMS on my personal site. Check it out for further info.
Look up Men Surviving FMS.

PLease get see another doctor!! My sister has planter fascitis and she has to buy specail shoes! There alot of money 89.00--269.00 but its worth it she says! She also can not stand or do anything for a long time,she always had to where her shoes even if its just in the house cleaning all day.If shes sitting to long and goes to stand up its very painful and takes her a minute or to just to walk!as for the others i would see a differnet doctor!but thats my opinon! try a chiroprator good luck !

Yes go see and ask your doctor for a referral. Good luck.
