Hi
I was dx with RA a couple of years ago, and have been lucky to have not had it too badly until recently. The past couple of months I have been getting what i call intense muscle aches from the palms of my hands up my forearms and now into my shoulders. It's sometimes like a "charlie horse", but in my arms. I also have the same thing going on in my feet. Could this be part of my RA, or am I dealing with possibly another ailment? I am so frustrated. The past few years have been one thing after another, hypothyroidism, melanoma, and RA. I'm only 36, and getting to feel like the road ahead of me is going to a painful one. If anyone has had similar symptoms or has any thoughts please let me know. I would be so appreciative.
Thanks
Alisia
Hi Alisia..
RA and Fibro often go hand in hand. I don't have fibro but my mom does. She has awful muscle pain.
Have you mentioned this to your doctor??
I was actually just reading about fibromyalgia. I will def look into it!
