What about SED rate? It's another test for inflammation.

Tests for inflammation are not always perfect, so you can still have inflammation and blood tests not reflect it.

Have they ever tried steroids to see if your symptoms improve? If it is inflammatory based, the symptoms will usually improve with steroids. It's not the best course of action (due to long term side-effects), but it can help determine if it is inflammation.
