my RA

[Guest guest]

I just wanted to tell you when I was diagnosed with RA

my pain is and has been for 2 years everywhere! I am real stiff, after sitting

and sleeping.

And all over muscle weakness and pain,,,,My major pain issues is knees and

shoulders, I guess that is not uncommon instead of hand and feet problems?

How about you all?

Yes Kathy, I am stiff when I get up in the a.m. too. Slow to get going.

I can't sit too long as I get so stiff I can hardly stand up. I love to

paint, and can only sit for short intervals....... damn...... I would

love to sit and paint all day!!!!!

My feet and ankles are the worst. I do have pain in my back and

shoulders at times. Right now I am on pain pills every 6 hrs. Still

recovering from the broken shoulder and foot. I fell because my feet

were so swollen and painful. I am now on the max. dose for all my RA

meds, and that has really helped so much.

I hope you will be feeling better soon. This RA is tough to deal with

every day.

Hugs,

Barbara

Kathy,

I is really hard at first for me to move after sleeping or sitting for

a while.

I have never had shoulder pain. My feet have always hurt them most. I

guess the next area that screams louder than others are my wrist.
