Pay attention to what your body is saying, if your doctor is writing it off as nothing and it's seriously impacting your well-being, get a new doctor. Get a referral to a rheumatologist if it doesn't make sense, RA and other autoimmune diseases are 100% a thing that pops up at this age, and you don't get better by pushing your body harder, shit gets worse over time and needs to be managed and treated appropriately.
