Re: Medical Query

Speak to a pharmacist about the medication questions.
The big thing you should be worrying about is getting a proper diagnosis of your condition.
Just because the blood tests were normal doesn't mean that the GP should stop looking. Something like rheumatoid arthritis can be present but the patient can have completely normal blood results (not saying you have RA) or more esoteric blood tests could shed more light on whats going on.
If the GP has exhausted all his/her diagnostic abilities and drawn a blank then they should send you to a consultant rheumatologist.....
