Before I was diagnosed with AA I was having strange debilitating bone/joint pain. I went to a reumatologist and was initially diagnosed with Reactive Arthritis. I had food poisoning that ramped up my immune system. I was eventually diagnosed with aplastic anemia. I am not sure if I had reactive arthritis. The reumatologist suggested that hematological diseases mimic reumatology symptoms. Reumatologist are difficult to get a quick appointment. It took a month or so for me. Maybe one of the hematologist can get you into a reumatologist quickly. I would definitely push for that route.
Some of the posts that I have seen also talk about avascular necrosis (AVN) of the hip.
I am sorry you and your daughter are going through this problem. I hope it is a long lasting virus that goes away. God bless you.
