Guest guest Posted July 29, 2008 Report Share Posted July 29, 2008 Hello again , So sorry to hear of your new pain.....  Doesn't it seem characteristic of this cruel group of inflammatory conditions that there always  seems to be lurking the possibility of developing an surprising new pain or symptom! It is as though the gremlins have been working on a new bit of mischief to try out!! From 'speaking ' with you some while back I don't believe you will be offended by my writing this.... but I am aware I am here as a 'guest' in this remarkable group and hope I don't intrude. My thoughts on the testing you had would be that the doctor was checking whether a nerve was being pressed on ,( entrapped),locally near the elbow, especially as she offered a steroid shot. You particularly describe it felt like bone pain, that also could be due to  local (immune)inflammation.From your description it seems she thought that more likely than that the pain referred from higher up, pinching of the nerve roots in the neck, eg.Physical exam would have suggested this to her , although you say sadly she did not explain. Oh, This is so complicated I will try and look up more info. Best wishes Chris retired doc friend of RA sufferer  __________________________________________________________ Not happy with your email address?.
