Guest guest Posted July 14, 2006 Report Share Posted July 14, 2006 Yes, that's happened to me before many times. For years only the left shoulder was under constant attack. The left side in general. Years later the right side got in on the action. I still refer to my right side as the good side. It is a symmetric disease and will eventually attack both sides. however, it could at different times. Also, the damage done is different as well. Even though the right side is my good side the damage to the right foot is the most visible where the toes are deformed and no longer touch the ground when i stand. Hopefully, the doc can get under control for you. Take care, . > > I don't post much but have a question. Do any of you ever have just > one hand swell or one shoulder hurt?

Guest guest Posted July 14, 2006 Report Share Posted July 14, 2006 When my RA first started, it was not bilateral, and it did jump about from joint to joint. RA does not have just one way of presenting itself, but many. Sue On Friday, July 14, 2006, at 10:11 AM, ktandtm wrote: > I don't post much but have a question.

Guest guest Posted July 14, 2006 Report Share Posted July 14, 2006 Hi : Absolutely. The other day my right thumb was throbbing and left wrist pain, today it's my left knee that hurts. Usually both ankles/feet and elbows are always in pain. RA is like that - it jumps around and you never know what will hurt when!

Guest guest Posted July 23, 2008 Report Share Posted July 23, 2008 Has anyone else here have problems with hand swelling since taking Xolair? My right hand seems to be swollen nearly all the time. I don't think it's an allergic reaction to the medicine since I don't have any other signs of allergic shock. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
