Hi,
I am only 20and I have symptoms that points to arthritis, but I have been to 5 different doctors and every blood work and x-rays comes out normal. It started when I was 13 my knees were constantly swollen and in pain but my knees aren't solo wen anymore. Three months ago Inotice my fingers are swollen too and now I have pain in my elbow. And I never had any injuries. I am really unsure on what I have and doctors can't help me either. Please help!!

I would definitely recommend that you talk to your primary care doctor about this. They can examine your elbow and help you figure out exactly what is going on and whether or not any specific treatment is needed. By far the most common cause of pain in this area of the elbow would be tendonitis, which is an inflammation of the spot where the tends in the forearm attach to the bone.

Hi Veekae Welcome to HealingWell, Have you seen a Rheumy
doctor yet? They would be able to diagnose you if you have
arthritis.

Could be a form of imflammatory Arthritis and you really need to call an RA/Rheumy doctor, like teddybearweiser said to do....your next step for a dx might be hand or foot mri's....Many well wishes and do keep us posted as we do care...
