DH is having problems with his body and I would appreciate some help figuring out what to do. He is seeing the GP again tomorrow and I'm worried he will get fobbed off.
His symptoms are:
He has been feeling very weak. For example, he has not been able to do more then 2 push ups in a row. He used to be able to do about 20.
He has pain in all of his joints especially his knees. His knees have been painful on and off since he was a teenager, but they have been especially painful the last month.
DH would normally walk a few kilometres a day but he has hardly been able to get around the house these last couple of weeks. He says it feels as if all of the cartilage is gone and his bones are rubbing together. He has had similar problems with his lower back for years.
Knowing DH he would never complain about pain unless it was very serious.
These are the blood tests he has had so far (they have all come back negative):
White blood cell count, Full blood cell count, Uric Acid Test, Rheumatic Factor and E.S.R.
Any advice would be greatly appreciated!
