hello
Multiple joint pains should be diagnosed by a rheumatologist surely, but the GP may suggest certain baseline blood tests like cbc,aso ,esr,anti-ccp,rheumatoid factor etc and make preliminary diagnosis and give medicines which may not produce diarrhea-like tramadol, paracetamol after meals alogwith rabeprazole on empty stomach
