Medical Forum / Diseases and Disorders / Arthritis / September 2005Very Concerned and Need Suggestions
I am a 43 year old female and have always had great health for the most part. Over the past month or so I have noticed a change though. Initially my legs were very sore (both of them) hurting and throbbing as if I had walked cross country. My husband rubs them constantly but I wake up each morning (if I was able to sleep) with them hurting. About a week ago I noticed my arms feeling the same way. As if I lifted weights for the first time ever and over did it. They throb and when I lift somethingand the pain is very noticable. I find myseld trying to not lift anything and I limit my walking because of the pain. I have sat and drove myself crazy trying to think of what this may be. I have done nothing different in my daily routine that would have caused this. I am an Executive Assistant so my work is done at a desk. This is really bothering me and I hope for just a little guidance. Please e-mail me at ttrull@sshouse.com Thank you See a doctor!

I am surprised you did not think to do that. Rose @}>->-- Being educated means that rather than fearing the unknown, one seeks to understand it. RB Please remove "Ima" to reply. Am I missing something here? I googled Tami T and see that she doesn't have a posting history on ASA. Again is there something I am missing that would account for responses that seem less than welcoming and friendly? If there is a history of this woman posting that I am can't find? MedKB (Medical knowledge base) doesn't sell products. Just in case Tami was here needing support,info, and friendship and was not here as a spammer: Hello Tami, Certainly take the advise of Jo and Rose. There are a few things that could present with these symptoms that range from electrolyte embalance, hormonal imbalance and more serious vascular issues. Please let me know by email what you find out but do get it checked out soon. Melinda > Am I missing something here? I googled Tami T and see that she doesn't > have a posting history on ASA.

I cannot fathom that somewhere there is a 43 year old executive assistant who can find Usenet (OK google does make it easier than it used to be) who would post potentially very serious medical symptoms online along with a valid email address asking for diagnosis by a bunch of strangers. I really wish I did have more faith in people. Jo Jo, I didn't have a diagnosis when I first came to this group. I can remember many times over the years when people have come to ASA looking for info for family members or friends. Welcome and you need to see and doctor is my usual response with the welcome being the imperative. Also, fear is so often the motivation for people searching for answers on the internet. Is that wise? Of course not. It is, however, not uncommon. It sure won't hurt me to find someone is actually setting me up to push products. It might however, hurt a person who may need this group, if they are met with initial distrust. I guess I would rather err on the side of kindness. Melinda I apologise too. I am touched by the same cynicism that Jo has. If I offended anyone I am sorry. My thought was that if the individual was concerned she would have sought advice from a medical professional. At first read I thought of the IC because of the sedentary nature of her job, the association of pain with walking, and the non specificity of the pain. Once again I apologise. I would be interested to hear what the doctor says, if Tami feels like coming back. Rose @}>->-- Being educated means that rather than fearing the unknown, one seeks to understand it.

Rheumatic diseases are caused by your immune system and there are over 100 different forms. Fibromyalgia is often associated with sleep problems. Check with your Dr for tests, the Rheumatic diseases often have signature anti-bodies and your Dr will also look for indications of inflammation. Good luck and keep us posted on how you make out. -- MZ Visit my website: http://www.mzuschlag.com > >They throb and when I lift somethingand the pain is very noticable.

Good luck and keep us posted on how you make out. -- And, while you're waiting (hopefully not too long!) to see your doctor, keep a diary of pain and symptoms (joint affected, degree of pain and swelling, how long, and things you can't do as a result of the pain/swelling). Bring a copy of this diary to your doctor.  SignatureAF |
