See what your blood tests say, pseudogout is a possibility. Pseudogout occurs when calcium pyrophosphate crystals form in the synovial fluid in the joints. Crystals can also deposit in the cartilage, where they can cause damage. The buildup of crystal in the joint fluid results in swollen joints and acute pain.
So far, it seems you have been proactive seeing various physicians and being tested, which is good. I hope you feel better soon and your doctor can give you a diagnosis so you can move forward with the appropriate treatment.
