Hi. Just registered. I have osteoarthritis in my knees and back and hip pain I've not been able to get diagnosed as anything. I also have had a lot of pain in one of my shoulders and in my heels in recent months. I am also autistic, ADHD and diabetic.

    My hip and knee Osteoarthritis was diagnosed by my GP with the aid of x rays done at my local hospital. My hips didn't show any changes so I am at a dead end on getting what that pain is diagnosed. And since that post I have been diagnosed with Breast Cancer, less than a month ago in fact, so between that & my dressing changes on my leg ulcers I have been overloaded with appointments anyway.
