I am 23 and had my daughter 1 ½ years ago
and ever since I had her (by c-section) I
have been going down hill. I have a
swollen wrist on the left hand and it
hurts to lift anything with both wrists.
My fingers on the right hand are sore
really bad in the morning, they are not
swollen but sore. Not actually my fingers
but the knuckle bones in the palm of my
hand. They are this way until and take a
long hot shower and I have moved around
for a few hours.
This is the order that I remember to the
best of me that it came. I never have
fever; and none of the spots are red. I
hit my right fourth toe on a chair months
ago and it is sore sometimes from the toe
up about 3 inches into my foot on top and
bottom, I can%u2019t pull my toe up at
all. When I stand up on it at work it
burns really bad. It is not broke or
fractures I have had xrays. I woke up one
morning and my neck hurt really bad I
thought that maybe I had slept wrong but
the pain never goes away. In both of my
thighs the muscles ache and a have a hard
time walking after I have been sitting for
a while (20 minutes sometimes). I have
lower back pain and knee pain. The knee
pain sometimes is horrible; I have to wrap
them up in blankets and go to sleep. In
the past two weeks I have been having
unbearable pain in my arms. In both
normally from the elbow to the wrist, the
muscles hurt more than anything, it feels
like my elbows are going to pop but they
can%u2019t. In the morning it is so bad
that I can%u2019t brush my hair, wash my
hair and sometimes put my own clothes on.
My sed rate is always extremely high and
they don%u2019t know why. Cortisone shots
don%u2019t help I have had 2.
He said that he thinks that is it the
start of Rheumatoid arthritis or
fibromyalgia. What do you think??
I went to another dr and he gave me
prednisone, 20mg 3 pills for 4days, 2
pills for 4days and then 1 pill for days.
He told me to tell the RA dr when I go
back if it worked. Over night I have never
felled so good. I can move everything and
nothing hurts. The sweating and being
nervous was bad the first two days and now
has seems to not be so bad. I have been
having blood when I blow my nose.
