Medical Forum / Diseases and Disorders / Arthritis / January 2006Is this Arthritis?
I woke up about a month ago and both hands and the toes on both feet were stiff and sore. Never had this before. I can understand one hand, but not all limbs at the same time. It has not gone away. Sometimes I cannot even make a fist. But if I flex my fingers rapidly for 10-15 seconds all the stiffness and pain goes away, but it will come back within an hour. Anti-arthritis supplements have no effect. Does this fit arthritis? Thanks for any ideas, Dennis > I woke up about a month ago and both hands and the toes on both feet were > stiff and sore.

Let me be among the first to recommend you get to a doctor pronto and try to get in to see a rheumatologist. You will do much better in the long run if you start treatment for this early.

It cost me because I was uneducated with RA or what ever you may have. Mine at the start felt like I was always walking on rocks barefooted and progressed from there. Good luck. ~Kenny Hi, Definitely get in and get it looked at!!!!! Its only the beginning, you need to get things under control before they get any worse. Good luck hi dennis, yes. it does, i'm sorry to say. please see a rheumatologist, what we around here refer to as an rd, as quickly as possible. kate I woke up about a month ago and both hands and the toes on both feet were stiff and sore.

[quoted text clipped - 10 lines] > > Thanks for any ideas, Possibly. Both sides rather than just one side can be the normal behavior. Thought hands and feet at the same day is a bit much. But as far as ideas, for crying out loud go see a doctor. You don't know what is causing this. Treating yourself with no medical diagnosis can be dangerous. There are other things that can cause the same symptoms. Jo See your doctor and get a referral to a rheumatologist. Only an RD (shorthand for rheumatologist) can tell for sure.

[quoted text clipped - 12 lines] > > Dennis Symetrical pain is one of the pointers to Rheumatioid Arthritis. Like everybody has said, see your doctor and get some blood tests done. If you do have this disease, its not the end of the world, it is treatable. Cheers Stuart >I woke up about a month ago and both hands and the toes on both feet were >stiff and sore. Never had this before. [quoted text clipped - 12 lines] > > Dennis I know what you mean. I had similar problems in December. Aches in my right knee and problems with my right hand. I had problems holding a screwdriver, I am an electrician. The weather in this part of the UK does not help wet and cold. I then decided to take extra supplements. I use USANA as it is best rated in North America. Will post details below. I mainly use the USANA Essentials and Procosa II The USANA Procosa II the daily dossage includes 2,000 mg Glucosamine sulfate. I had problems a number of years ago with my right knee and that is when I started to take USANA products on a more regular basis and it helps. Though I did reduce my intake around October time and I think that is why I had problems around December. My knee aches now and again and supplements are no a cure, but I find it does help my body. I distribute the USANA products to help pay for my own. If anybody is interested check info below. USANA Essentials is the #1 Product in North America - 'The Comparative Guide to Nutritional Supplements'.
