Guest guest Posted November 26, 2011 Report Share Posted November 26, 2011 Sharon, this could be rheumatoid arthritis, especially as you hadrheumatic fever when younger. There are blood tests and other tests that can distinguish the types of arthritis--there are many, andwe who have MS are prone to them (pardon the bad pun).Love and hope,nSubject: joint pain, some other stuff....To: "Group" <mserslife >Date: Saturday, November 26, 2011, 4:40 PM My joints are hurting. First it was my knees and I decided it was arthritis. Now my shoulder joints are hurting. I'm wondering if this is perhaps not arthritis? I can't take any of the anti-inflammatory drugs or aspirin. Tylenol doesn't help at all. I do have arthritic nodules in my hands but I have never officially been diagnosed with arthritis. I had a lot of joint pain as a pre-teen due to rheumatic fever. But this knee and shoulder pain is rather sudden.What do you all think? SharonThis email is a natural hand made product.

Guest guest Posted November 26, 2011 Report Share Posted November 26, 2011 Thanks n. I am surprised that all this came on so quickly, I guess. All of a sudden I feel like my grandmother:)I am going to call the doctor on Monday and make an appointment. I just found out my doctor is finally back from her extended medical leave. She had some sort of very serious back injury in July and was flown to a hospital in Phoenix for surgery. hugs SharonThis email is a natural hand made product.
