I would start by either talking to your PCP or looking for a rheumatologist to go see. Rheumatologists can do testing for RA and see if you have anything going on with your immune system. If you need you can always message me if you have any questions. I’m sry that you are having a hard time with pain it is a very debilitating thing to go through but you are not alone.
