Yes Kerrie! I truly understand your grief! My legs hurt something terrible at night some times. They don't swell but the pain is there. I think we are all looking for answers at this point! 🙏 I don't know what to say!!! Sad!😩

13

Yea that's not gonna help 😬 I've done those and they are useless have u tried muscle relaxers?

In my experience the pain moves around my body just like you're discribing. Night before last I was awake most of the night due to excruciating pain in my right hand. I have a question too. Does anyone experience torso pain, like stabbing cramps that happen sometime with the slightest movement????

Morning Kerrie; yes to "pain in knees".....for example, the thing that woke me this morning (and many times during the night), were my SORE knees...not sure if it's due to having them "locked in the one position for a period of an hour or so", or inflammation of the knees???....When you describe swollen and red, it "indicates" inflammation, and maybe an anti-inflammotory (I use Brufen) may help....but the only problem with this is, that it doesn't help Long-term to Stop this type of issue...just helps relieve the pain for a while..............I also find I need this medication when my neck becomes stiff and sore, too. The side effect is then retained fluid/swelling of ankles (not bad, but noticeable).....I do agree with having joints injected .  I had many joints injected about 5+ years ago with Cortisone (an anti-inflammotory), and stopped many of my problems for quite some time.  Perhaps if I can find the energy to make another appt with Rhuemy, I may go down that road again for my knees and elbows too??.

​I havn't tried/heard of  the mentioned Meloxacam, but will look into this and find out more.                        good luck and keep us posted with what you trial, and if you feel it has helped.                    Bron

Hiya thanks for the reply yes I get pains in my ribs mainly. I've got costochondritis I think that's how you spell it which is inflammation in the cartilage around my ribs it bloody hurts I understand the pain if this is what you have my rheumatologist diagnosed me with this xx

17

I am going to look into that. The doctors I see regularly just give me "the oh really" and offer no help. I only see a PA in Pulmonology and need to take it upon myself to see a Rheumotologist as it's never been suggested to me. Can they do anything to help the inflammation?

Hello Kerrie,

it's pretty miserable isn't it.  I had a day like that yesterday, I hurt everywhere and really felt down. I'm really dreading the winter.  Gentle hugs x

Yes Judy I do! My torso is stiff and painful a lot especially in the morning or when I have sat for a long time! This fibro stuff is just aweful. I just wish there was an answer! 🙏
