swelling

[Guest guest]

Thanks, and that was the only way to explain it to anyone, I could go no

place without shoes on, even in the house, and still it felt like someone had

stuck a bunch of pebbles in my shoes. Funny cause my doc understood. That was

when they first put me on the MTX, and the next time I went and saw him I told

him thanks cause I was able to walk on the beach barefoot for the first time

in a long time and I was so happy, of course that was about 6yrs ago.

I keep reading about people with swelling. Is this normal for RA to have

swelling? I have had RA for about 6yrs. Probably longer since it took them at

least 2 yrs to diagnose it, and that was due to my shoulders freezing up on me,

and then my feet feeling like I was walking on rocks all the time and it hurt to

walk. I have never had any swelling that I can see, nor can anyone else, it does

feel like my feet and hands are swollen, but its just the feeling they are,

especially when the humidity goes up,but they are not swollen that anyone can

see, they also do not get red or anything. I was just wondering cause I hear so

many that have red, swollen and sore hands and feet as well as knees.

The swelling of several joints on both sides of the body is a hallmark

of rheumatoid arthritis.

I have that same feeling, like marbles r under the balls of my feet and

everything feels swollen but looks perfectly normal.........when I tell ppl that

they look at me like i am crazy. even my hands feel swollen but look just

fine.. I am glad to hear I am not the only one.
