I have had these pains for like 5 years and I am 32 now. They initially started in the joint of my big toes then my ankles and recently my knee. There is a lot of swelling that often turns red and then bruises. This was intially diagnosed as gout but the preventative treatment did not work at all. I eventually found some relief using Arcoxia/etroxcib however the pain has progressively became more constant and is often so bad I can not walk or even get to sleep. I have had another X-ray to see if it is Arthritis but I had these 2 years ago and they were clear. Because I have to take Arcoxia almost constantly the doctor stopped it due to the risk of heart attack and put me on Tramadol for the pain - which works to extent but the swelling remains and whilst I can rest in reasonable comfort I still can not walk more than a few metres.

Is there any other conditions it could be as the Doctor does not feel it is gout due to the permenance of the pain and the fact the joints flare up and the slightest knock or walking any appreciable distance.

If you are still reading thank you I know it is lengthy
