What Causes Severe Pain In The Hips And Knees?

I am a white male 50 years old. Developing arthritis in my hips about 2 years ago, my knees as well. I can also feel it in my other joints, feet, ankles, wrist and fingers. My doctor ran a blood test for rheumatoid arthritis and came back negative. Recently I have ringing in my ears or buzying. I feel like my arthritis is taking over my body slowly, my joints crack all the time, including my neck hourly in the last couple of months. My doctor thinks it is old age and I am just getting arthritis, but this is more than that. Your thoughts?

Hello,

As a first line management you can take analgesics like paracetamol or aceclofenac for pain relief.

If symptoms persists you can consult an orthopaedician and plan for an MRI scan.

Hope I have answered your query. Let me know if I can assist you further.
