Achy joints!!!

Posted , 4 users are following.

 I posted o here before about my joints hurting and popping .. I have a Dr appointment on Tuesday to find out what's going on.

I  have been taking Ibuprofen for the pain and swelling but someone told me that too much was bad .. has anyone been prescribed a pain reliever from the Dr and how has it worked for you?

My fingers hurt all the time  and ibuprofen is the only thing that helps me.

    Hi grace

    I to suffer painful fingers I never connected it to peri until I read your post. I have suffered with achilles tendonitis for 18 years from my kick boxing days but noticed some days its more painful than others even though I've done nothing different and some days its hardly there so am thinking that peri is playing a part in that to.

      Hi Sarah,

      i had shoulder injuries from working as CNA

      For over 20 years I'm not sure if that could be causing my fingers to ache . I am going to Dr. on Tuesday I really want to find out why this is happening .

      It's been a gradual weight loss over 10 months but I did have awful anxiety for 3 months but I think my weight is staying the same now, I walk alot so I think that's shifted some weight on my legs.

      I am dealing with anxiety myself .. I think it's just  not knowing what's wrong with me and reading all the negative information o dr. Google. 

      I read all the symptoms of RA and I'm afraid that's what I have. This is a very scary time for me but all I can do is trust in God and have faith that He is the only one that has the power to heal any sickness.

      Thanks for your response.
