That said, sounds like you got some sort of progressive joint fibrosis. Which probably means autoimmune problems given the late, rapid onset. IANAD though.
Also, are you in one of those countries where doctors get paid by the test rather than by the cured patient? Because that always seemed silly to me; imagine paying police by the arrest or firemen by the fire….

It'd only be ironic if I claimed to be a true man :p

It's not fibrosis or anything like that -- I actually have better-than-average flexibility, normal strength, I don't get any swelling, redness or itching, it's just that when I use my joints/muscles (can't tell precisely which it is, or if it's both) for normal everyday activities, they feel worn-out and almost like their muscles are pulled really fast, and then comes the pain. It's a bit different for different joints.

Like, did you ever see that South Park episode where a character (can't remember which, I'm not a SP fan, I just happened to see it when someone else was watching) gets his legs replaced with a black person's legs (ha ha so funny). He's playing basketball at one point and his knees basically splatter, the legs come off, gore splashes everywhere. That's what it feels like is gonna happen to my knees if I stand or walk too long.

As for my fingers, they just feel like the muscles get intensely pulled intensely fast when I do stuff like try to write, type, play piano (*laments his username*) or use a videogame controller. It's far too intense to grit my teeth and push through it, I just have to basically not use my hands all day. My wrists feel all crickly and crackly, like they're filled with gravel. X-Rays show my bones appaer fine, though.

Blood tests and bone tests and one nuclear thingy test ruled out pretty much all known autoimmune diseases. At this point, my running theory is that it's either genetic, something exotic like a rare viral/fungal/mold or something, or a problem with my body's ability to produce adenosine diphosphate or adenosine triphosphate.

And I dunno how doctors get paid in my country (the United States of America, sadly), but it's definitely not for curing patients.

Heh.

Pilchard: Which book is that from? (I recognize it as Discworld :))

Is it cold in here?:
This is a long shot and you may already have tried it, but at some kind of research/teaching institution you stand a better chance of getting a doctor who's a nerd, and if there's one leading around a gaggle of students s/he may feel some pressure to act like a skilled professional.

Guards! Guards! I think, though it may be from Jingo.
