I have been diagnosed with psa and see a rheumatologist but so far no lumpy fingers or toes - with me it’s all tendons and ligaments, which they have based the diagnosis on.
I have had carpal tunnel (one op) plantar fasciitis (under the heel), Achilles tendinitis (comes and goes - they get lumpy and tender to touch), pain in the tailbone area and some neck problems which mean I can’t lie on my back for long as it gives me headaches, though I wouldn’t say I have a stiff neck all the time.
I’m not sure whether my neck issues are related, I might just be getting on and putting all my aches and pains down to the psa!
I’ve had an X-ray and an mri which haven’t revealed anything as yet.
So, he may just have a stiff neck but I don’t think your doc is right to say they ‘guarantee’ it’s not related.
It might be they are trying to reduce your worries regarding your son I suppose, but he shouldn’t really have a stiff neck for months at his age and you are looking for answers so I think they may be being unhelpful.
