Hi there, has anybody had a look at Rheumatoid Arthritis (RA)? Join the NRAS site and see what you think. Have you had a blood test for your anti-ccp levels? Used to detect RA, amongst other tests. Do you have “hot” joints? Take photos of your joints and do start a diary as it can be invaluable when you see a specialist or even your GP again ( most GP’s know very little about RA)!!! Do you wake with really stiff joints / seizes joints that gradually ease throughout the morning? Diarise anything that changes or new pains / describe type of pain. With RA, your symptoms can literally change daily / even hourly so write it all down. What about fatigue? Best of luck getting it investigated. Also look at NRAS website!

I have got a similar problem: pain in muscles, veins and bones, swollen and painful knee joints. I read about the medications I'm on and made a conclusion that one of them gives a side effect such as swollen and thrombosis. A couple of doctors from abroad confirmed my predictions. Check your medications before getting any treatment for your new condition.
