I had x-rays recently of my ankle that I had sprained which showed some arthritis due to a former ankle sprain about 10 years ago. I never had any pain in either ankle, they felt kind of stiff sometimes.

We can have arthritis in joints without it being rheumatoid arthritis. RA is the kind that gives lumps and bumps in joints and soon it becomes crippling and unmovable. (I think I am right about this.)
I don't think there is such as diagnosis as "some RA" You either have it or you don't. All of my RA tests have been negative.

There is also osteoporosis that can cause pain in joints. Some people develop pain, some won't. Some may get the pain later in life. Some get a hump in the upper neck and back.

I agree with Melanie, get a second opinion.

I wonder if you have an undetected bacterial infection?

I get weird pains in my fingers and toes. Not an arthritic pain, just short stabbing pain that last a few seconds.

I also get walnut size lumps on the bones in the back of the head near the upper neck. It gets swollen and very tender to touch. It usually will last 24 to 48 hours. There are so many weird symptoms with fibromyalgia. One time my potassium was really out of limits. A week later everything was normal. (At the time I had heart palpatations too.) So I eat a bananna everyday, take calcium and magnesium and a multi-vitamin and vitamin E and folic acid; all of these once a day. We do what we can on our own to feel as good as we can.

I also am on 3 mg fast-acting Naltrexone that increases my natural endorphins and stabalizes my immune system so I am having many more good days without fatigue and pain. No more morning stiffness like I had three motnhs ago. What a blessing this has been for me. I hardly ever take a pain pill or muscle relaxant now, especially since my ankle is healing so well.
Hope this helps. Melanie has such good advice!! Just adding my 2 cents here. MistyMisty
