Hi Pluto and welcome to KA. After looking at those scans, to not recognize something is going on, I would suggest those particular doctors check out what's going on in their heads!
Very sorry to hear that you're suffering like this. The ESR and CRP tests measure inflammatory levels in your blood. Not everyone who has inflammatory arthritis will have elevated ESR and CRP but many do so it's a good indicator of active disease. Perhaps you can request these tests. I found that my doctors were keen to do something for me when my levels got very high.
