Went to the doctor and she said there is no test for it.Nothing much you can do for it.The pain is in my hands,wrist,but the worse is in my shoulder and arm."Just take Tylenol,Ibuprofen,or Nap rosin.Come on,there has to be something?
I Used To Suffer But Not Anymore!
I began
searching for information on natural remedies, alternative
medicine, and anything I could find. I had actually tried
searching for this information years before, and found nothing
relevant. Then
one day I found a source of information that led to another
source, and so on. It was the break I had been looking for!
Despite having read over and over that arthritis was "incurable"
and that people with arthritis had to learn to live with
it for the rest of their lives, I found hope. Out of all
the informational sources I found, I learned that people
with arthritis had been curing themselves all these years! What
I learned was that there were four (4)
different methods that were used to cure arthritis. Each
source mentioned only one method, though. Some gave importance
to one method and briefly mentioned some of the others.
What I also learned was that some people got relief by using
one method more than another. So what
I did was combine ALL 4 methods into one
program , and by applying just one
of the initial methods, I
became totally pain-free in 3 days!
I answered your recent question on Lyme disease. Your arthritis could very well be chronic Lyme from a previous tick bite(s). You’ll need to see a Lyme literate doctor (LLMD) to get tested and treated for chronic Lyme disease. 6 weeks of 400 mg doxycycline, which you should start immediately for the new infection, is a good start and will probably make your arthritis symptoms improve. But for chronic Lyme (once it becomes arthritis it is chronic), you need more than 6 weeks of antibiotics.
You can ask for a referral to an LLMD here:

I’m sure there are a lot of things you can do to help the arthritis (your doctor sounds very unhelpful). Off the top of my head, I know that Glucosamine sulfate, 2,000 mg per day can help with arthritis symptoms. This is a non-prescription supplement.
