A cleaning lady that worked for my family has a husband with a debilitating condition, which hasn't being diagnosed yet: - his knees hurt a lot, they swell, the back of his knees also hurt - the soles of his feet hurt, his ankles swell - there are days when he wakes up with a fever - when the pain is acute, the spine hurts - his lower back hurts at the level of his right lung - he feels a burning sensation when urinating - he has lost a lot of weight (almost 20 kg since december) - when someone tries to make him stand up, he cannot stand straight due to the pain in his spine - there are days when he feels pain in the pelvis, on the left side his problem started in 2016, along with a condition similar to psoriasis on the skin (it was not diagnosed). The symptoms worsened in december, just after one of the sars-cov-2 vaccines. He can only afford government hospitals, which take months to even give you appointment. She has some lab results from tests they asked her to get, which I could send if needed. Thanks.

Regards lybrate-user. With the provided information, it appears the disorder is affecting multiple systems - joints, urinary system, gastrointestinal (relating to weight loss). He may benefit from a consult with a rheumatologist. Rheumatological disorders are different from other disorders as they involve autoimmune issues (that is our own body's defense system, affects our own tissues). They tend to affect multiple systems at same time, and often tend to be misdiagnosed / mismanaged.
