Guest guest Posted June 26, 2003 Report Share Posted June 26, 2003 Hi, I'm Debi. Lately I have not been feeling quite so good. For several years my knees would ache when I went to a movie or rode in a car for extended periods of time. I found that, like at movies, if I moved my legs or kept them stretched out (always sitting in a row with nothing in front) then my knees wouldn't hurt. Here lately my fingers have been achy, but I do lots of typing and sewing. Also I've been trying to excercise regularly since Christmas (overweight and recently dxed with type 2 diabetes), dropped 20lbs but now my ankles ache when I've been walking, like within the joints. I've never had that happen. I started fearing osteoporosis so I began a calcium supplement several weeks ago. But the last week or so my knees have really started aching for no reason as far as obvious stress to them. I also read about RA on a website and it talked about cysts or something just under the skin. I'm developing those on my arms and sides and thighs. One other thing. My paternal gradfather had severe RA. I think he developed the disease in his 30's 40's. I'm 32 yrs old. So, what do you all think? Am I hopeless, lol? TIA!
