Many things to investigate. I'm sure your doctor is working on that. Sounds like he's looking at perhaps an auto-immune problem. The Prednisone will halt the bodies immune response by suppressing the immune system. Blood test may include ANA, RA Anti-CCP(looking at Lupus, Rheumatoid Arthritis). ESR and CRP were probably ordered which are just general markers for inflammation/infection likely to be positive with any swelling. Exposure to tics may also warrant Lyme Studies. Routine CBC, Chemistry panel, LFT's are also good to have as a baseline. Coagulation studies and possibly a vascular study to rule out blood clots. Another problem associated with sudden swelling and pain without trauma might be Gout. Also a need to look at current medication...some medication could cause joint inflammation, muscle wasting.
As far as the fatigue and weight gain I'd be sure and look into your thyroid function. This may be the cause of all; to include your joint pain, swelling. Hypothyroidism. http://www.mayoclinic.com/health/hypothy… See, I told you lots of stuff...those are important first line things I would be looking at.

what kind of tests did he do? Maybe you should see a vascular specialist to make sure your arteries and veins are ok. Don't worry, I've felt like I was falling apart several times before too Good Luck,

unfortunate to note Ur multiplicity of symptoms. Ur menses regularity is not informed. In order to tackle Ur menses regularity, if any, U may, safely, try Acupressure techniques. U'll have sizable relief.

Utility—Blocked energy + toxins shall be moved from all Ur internal organs to purge in the normal drainage system, i.e., urine, feces, sweat, cough, menses[ladies], vomitting and all the organs shall function upto optimal levels.
With ur thumb, press ur/his/her palms and soles, wrists and ankles on both sides. Suppose pain is felt while pressing a particular point in the palm/sole, u have to press the surrounding area—just like u r pumping out air from that painful point. The blocked energy in any internal organ, be it lungs, heart, stomach, kidneys, pancreas, liver, etc., shall be released along with toxins if any. As a last point u must press middle part of each palm/sole; so that toxins, if any, shall be excreted/purged through urine without affecting the kidneys.
It should be done in an empty stomach or after 2 hours after meals. With this, all the endocrine glands and their hormonal secretions shall be regulated. All internal organs shall function up to optimal levels.
PS-To ensure 100% cure in respect of early diagnosed cases and maximum cure in regards to late stages of Cancer/HIV/AIDS, many other most dreaded diseases etc., one should comply with all the stipulated instructions most scrupulously like rituals. No costs/hopitalization/side effects.Domiciliary treatment is enough.
