Diagnosis is usually a complex process due to the sheer number of possible causes and related symptoms. In order to diagnose migratory arthritis, we could:

Research the topic
Find a doctor with the time
Use a diagnostic computer system.

The process is the same, whichever method is used.

Step 1: List all Possible Causes

We begin by identifying the disease conditions which have "migratory arthritis" as a symptom. For example, Lyme disease.

Step 2: Build a Symptom Checklist

We then identify all possible symptoms and risk factors of each possible cause, and check the ones that apply:

recurring depression

unexplained high fevers

numb/burning/tingling extremities

constant fatigue

migraine headaches

frequent 'chills'

Lyme disease

reduced sense of taste

... and so on

Step 3: Rule Out or Confirm each Possible Cause

A differential diagnosis of your symptoms and risk factors finds the likely cause of migratory arthritis.

Arriving at a Correct Diagnosis

The Analyst™ is our online diagnosis tool that learns all about you through a straightforward process of multi-level questioning, providing diagnosis at the end.

If you indicate joint problems, The Analyst™ will ask further questions including this one:

Do you have arthritis that seems to migrate from joint to joint?

Possible responses:

→ No / don't know
→ Probably, but I am not certain
→ Yes, it is a minor problem but easily manageable
→ Yes, it is a significant problem affecting my life
→ Yes, it is a severe, debilitating problem

Based on your response to this question, which may indicate either possible migrating arthritis or migrating arthritis, The Analyst™ will consider possibilities such as Lyme Disease.
