Question for the group

[Guest guest]

Hey everyone!

Well, I always seem to get these weird symptoms and I don't know if this is RA

or not --- as I don't see my new RA Doc for 2 more weeks.  I wake up in the

middle of the night and sometimes, my hand will be numb (although I do sleep on

my sides, it's never the side I was sleeping on) . Sometimes with or without

THAT symptom, I will have sudden and very excruciating pain in my wrists &

hands. Almost as if someone just took a baseball bat and crushed my hands. There

is nothing under the sun except for a percocet that works for it and even that

only makes it a bit more tolerable. The pain can last anywhere from 10

loooooonnnnggg minutes or 2-3 hours.

 

My old RA doc acted like the pain was RA and only nodded his head about the

numbness in my hands.  Funny thing though, after my infusions of Rituxan - I

have not had that pain for about a year until the wee hours of this morning. I

don't think I can recall ever being in that much pain.

 

Does anyone else ever have this or I am just weird? (hehehe)

Thanks for any help you can offer~~
