What Causes Joint Pains And Breathing Difficulty?

I have a history of pericarditis, pericardial effusion, pleurisy, pleural effusion all of that within 3 1/2 months starting in 2007. Sed rate at it s highest was 200, wbc at it highest 24500, positive for anemia, pos protein in urine, neg ana. Never diagnosed with anything and ruled out fmf, cancers, all the usual suspects. Was told probably inflammatory process likely due to autoimmune. I am still having symptoms, severe joint pain in knees which just started 3 months ago, still difficulity breathing a couple times per week (but lungs are clear) last anywhere from 20 minutes to 4 hours, now smelly foamy urine. Any ideas?

Respected Sir, hi I evaluated your query thoroughly.
This relates to the decline in inherent respiratory effort drive due to microalveolar level changes not detectable in any of the tests along with anemia which is major concern.
*Joint pains are different related to articular surfaces erosions or frictions or calcium and other elemental disorders.
*Smelly foamy urine is directly indicating urinary tract infection.
All measures you have to carry out at home are :
-- maintain Hb level by high iron diet with Iron capsules or syrup.
-- maintain your hydration levels with plenty intake of boiled water, coconut
water, lemon juice, tea , coffee, butter milk etc.
-- deep breathing exercises and YOGA for 30 minutes are a day is
compulsory for you.
-- avoid smoking / alcohol consumption if doing .
-- light exercises at home with regular mor walking in fresh air for 20 min.
-- keep BP , Blood sugar , cholestrol level , blood counts (which may require
to consult family doctor if raised)under control.
Hope this clears your queries.
Thanks for using Health care Magic and reading my answer.
Regards
Wishing you a fast and speedy recovery from the same.
Take care, bye dear.
