Just wondering if my one has had these symptoms? I get pain in a joint that lasts 2-3 days and then leaves, sometimes mild pain and stiffness is left behind. It affects my hands, wrists, shoulder, knees, feet. I also have high crp but neg ana, and rf.

I also get fevers mostly in the evening but can come anytime. I seem to be waiting forever for a referral. Has anyone had similar?

Possibly Palindromic Rheumatism
or post viral arthritis.

Have you looked into possible Lupus/SLE?

Sorry noticed you have had neg ANA, but sometimes you can get people with lupus and no ANAs. Same for RF, you can still have negative RF even if you have RA.

NHS website for these conditions does state that one test alone can't diagnose. It's really hard as lots of GPs do rule out conditions via these blood tests, but sometimes the blood tests are negative even if people have the condition.

Good luck with diagnosis and getting help!

Don’t think it’s palindromic as I have symptoms every day for the last few months. It was sudden onset.
