Friend in trouble | Arthritis Information

 

Hello,

 

My friend had a swoolon foot,(the part where her toes are and half way up arch) itching and even pealing.  Then she showed me her nickle size nodules on the bottom and side of her foot.  Ok, I'm thinking athlets foot.  It was only one foot.  Then it was her elbow, and more nodules, on her wrist and thumb area.  Next came the tissue aroung elbow, with another nodule on the forearm.  Today, it was oppisite foot, same thing, she's crying and wanting me to stop the itching, I asked and no joint pain.  Her oppisite ankle is swollen, and again severel nodules, but not at the same time.  I believe this is not typical RA.  Swelling does happen in the wrist and elbow, and ankle.  She claims none of her joints are hurting, but she cannot walk on the area where her foot is swollen.  I'd sure appriciate any help.

Thank you all, and bless you!

She may have some kind of autoimmune problem, but she could also be having some kind of allergic reaction. The things you describe could be symptoms. I think that seeing a Dr. sooner than later should be a priority.

Just my two cents and my prayers are with both of you.

God Bless,
VickiI would take her to the doctor or the hospital to get her checked out. She will feel  a bit better just finding out what is wrong with her.jeanx38974.3681712963
