Have you ever been tested for Lyme Disease. I contracted Lyme and it triggered my arthritis. Many people go untreated for Lyme and it can mask and cause many problems.Hello all ... my doc "diagnosed" me with arthritis (non specified) about 2 years ago but I have been suffering with joint pain for many years. I am 30 years old and can't believe it really! Currently I have a prescription for Naproxen but don't find it really does a whole lot. I am also currently sore every where ... it sucks but I don't know where on the "scale" I'd concider myself. But the pain is there and at the moment it is a bit all consuming! Thanks for listening .... Know what you mean about the scale of pain. I've had RA for 16 years and never know how to answer that question because pain is subjective anyway. I just say the first number that comes into my head and then make a statement like 'I sleep ok but have to rest every hour during the day'. Hope the Naproxen is starting to work for you.
