Sore joints

[johnlane]

Hi everyone I am having sore joints in my shoulder, back, hip & knee. I am wondering if any one else has had this happen to them and what I can take to ease the pain.

Hi it is not unusual to have pains likes this, however you need to talk with your main specialist about what you can take. However in the mean time do get your GP to look at your levels of Vitamin B12, D and Iron, to make sure you are in range. MaryF

I have terrible pains in my legs after work. Pins and needles too. After I put my legs up and rest a while it eases up. Hope you feel better.

Hi Nanny23 I am off work at the moment as I had a heart attack last year and my immune system was attacked leaving me with Hughes Syndrome. I find it helps me to take paracetamol for the pain. I am hoping to go back to work soon but I need to get the pain under control

Sorry to hear about heart attack I'm still new to all this don't even know if I have the right Dr yet hope you feel better soon

What is parcemetol.? Never heard of it

[johnlane]

Sorry misspelled should read paracetamol

Paracetamol has a different name in the US, maybe this is why you don't know it but I'm not sure what it's called there. I've often looked for it to get a big tub when I've been there but could never figure out which one it is!

Bad days I walk down the stairs like an old penguin ... Getting going and moving about is the best thing I find although that is the complete opposite of how it makes you feel when it is kicking in ..
