Silly question ❓

Does any one else's ra 'burn'? like when you overstretch a ligament.

It's the only way I can describe this feeling. I've had to stay off the meds due to cold going onto my chest and can feel the dreaded burning in my hands.

I know it's different for everyone but my rheumy just looks quizzical when I mention it?!?

That's exactly how often described it. My consultant said she's never had anyone say that before . I know exactly when I am going to flare -- my blood feels like it is on fire 😈

Yes me too. I have OA as well and can differentiate between the RA pain and the OA pain.

I find it just as you describe - it's like burning inside, it sort of pulses too. Feels like a volcano has spilled its molten lava.

That is exactly how i would describe it!! A pulsating volcano that is spilling it's molten lava.

Firstly on here there is no such thing as a silly question and if you have to ask the same question several times it just means you havnt got an answer you understand, but then its still not a silly question. Yes it does burn with me before transitioning to a lock up and a deeper more resonant pain.

I'm glad I'm not alone too, I've yet to get a firm diagnosis but it is exactly this burning feeling that made me question whether or not I have RA. I already have OA and the pain is definitely different. I should add my blood tests also came back negative x

Im rhesus negative. And sero negative, and my joints burn too. I ask people to feel them - how hot they are. People feel, look quizzical and say 'feels normal to me' but they are on fire to me!

Not a silly Question at all, I have a burning sensation in my fingers as if I have been scolded by hot water sometimes to the point where it gets very sore, have mentioned it many times to my Rheumy he just smiles & nods his head as if to say yep all part of RA. It disappears as soon as it had arrived, most probably goes with the Hot sweats that I also get at certain times to which I get the same reaction by my Rheumy. Best wishes & your not alone.

Yes - Sometimes I get this with my Achilles' tendons - it happens especially at night, and it is really painful until I get it calmed down. I have not had it with my hands the same way though...

Hi, I too get a burning sensation but not that often

For the most part I get a sensitive skin sensation (as if the skin has been burned) over an inflamed area especially if that area has been inflamed for a while. I asked my Acupuncturist about this and she said she thinks it is down to the nerves being irritated by the inflammation.
