What Causes Muscles, Nerves And Joint Problems?

My son has been very very sick for two and a half years. He has muscle problems, nerve problems, now his hips, joints and feet are giving him problems. Doctors have run many many test and can not find the problem. I myself his mother has Sarcoidosis. Now they are leaning towards him having it. Mine was on my face etc, not muscles joints and everywhere he has it. He is only 41 years old. He has a whole life ahead of him. He is married with 3 children. Please help us. It is very hard not knowing what he has. They have him on may medicines and I am concerned if they don t know what it is how can they give him medicine? We watch the Doctor s on TV every day and respect there opinion

Orthopaedic Surgeon,  's  Response
Hello,

I have studied your case with diligence.

This can be seronegative polyarthritis.

Rheumatoid arthritis may involve small joints and early morning stiffness in joints, do you have such complain?
Ankylosing spondylitis typically involve spine and hips with other large joint also. There is reduced chest function in this disease. Stiffness in spine is increased do you have such stiffness in spine?

When such patients come to our hospital I advise them blood test like RA factor, ACCP, ESR, complete blood count, HLA B27,Ig M for sarcoidosis.

Hope this answers your query. If you have additional questions or follow up queries then please do not hesitate in writing to us. I will be happy to answer your queries.

Wishing you good health.

Take care.
