hi guys

just over a year ago I was tested for arthritis due to back pain, it came back clear.  I'm a 45 year old female, last had a child 5 years ago, I have regular periods. But in last two weeks I'm suffering very strong aching in my wrists, which extends into my fingers. my ankles when I wake up and try to stand really ache for first 10-15 mins. 

just today started taking  Osteocare origional, which has calcium magnesium , vitamin D3 , does anyone else know if this will help.

it doesn't help that I'm a carer and my job is quite demanding. Any suggestions would be gratefully appreciated.

regards Terri

    Blood tests for arthritis are inconclusive and unreliable. Look up the NRAS and search for details of the s-factor. You will find info there to support a request to be referred to a rheumatologist.
