Guest guest Posted October 7, 2009 Report Share Posted October 7, 2009 I have to say that I've never had visual swelling of my joints. They feel swollen to me, but on the outside they look OK. When I first when to my Rheumy, he told me that I probably didn't have RA because there was no swelling yada yada yada... Then the tests came back, and well, he was rather surprised. Since other folks present with no swelling, I too find it interesting that some Rheumy's don't say that swelling or nodules are not a necessary sign for diagnosis... Or, perhaps we're the few and far between? Anyway, here's to a pain free, or as pain free as possible day to one and all. J.J. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest guest Posted October 7, 2009 Report Share Posted October 7, 2009 Hi J.J.L. I know the feeling. I right now have pain in my feet and ankles & have no swelling, but my SED Rate is high so my Rheumy understands. Mousie in Calif > > I have to say that I've never had visual swelling of my joints.
