Guest guest Posted March 14, 2009 Report Share Posted March 14, 2009 Hi can anyone tell me something? I have RA from mycoplasma infection and have been on minocycline for 18months now with very good results. my hands ache sometimes but not much.. ... then last weds suddenly, (like in 30 minutes) my finger joint started to hurt and swelled up. (I mean I was working outisde and everything was fine, I went in for a short " power nap " and when i woke up it was swollen!) it contiued to swell and hurt bad by the time I got home from work I couldnt bend it at all. I went to the urgent care and they did blood work and an xray and said it might be gout, gave me a splint for it. tests came back negative for gout and they said xray just showed arthritic changes... so now its back to normal (saturday).. I am wondering if it could have actually been the RA with a sudden big flare in one joint only???? I was thinking of this cause i had a dog with RA once and she would be fine one day and then lame the next.. very sudden lameness that moved from place to place.. Just wondering cause it hurt very bad and I thought i was in remission.. now Im worried why this happened and whats gonna happen next..
