Hello,
Thanks for writing in.
Its important to note that you are suffering from severe joint pain involving hands, ankles, shoulder. You say X ray and MRI are normal (details of which part X ray and MRI done not mentioned).
Since you are under the care of orthopedic surgeon and rheumatologist I understand you are taking medicines prescribed.
Further you say this problem is since your last pregnancy 2 years ago.
I would only add that you may have decreased bone mineral density in your bones and this needs a Bone densitometry scan (DEXA scan) if not done earlier. This test is very simple and more sensitive than X ray in picking up weak bones.
Hope this helps.
