Hi every one , i wonder if you can te... - Scleroderma & Ray...
Hi every one , i wonder if you can tell me if you get really bad muscle pain .
I have same pain both shoulders right side is worse
Yes I also have similar pain. It is an effort to turnover in bed for the pain. I just live with it as part of my overall problems!!
Thank you for your replies , with the all over pain i get i feel so worn down i just wish i could get some sleep and rest
I also had this problem, The shoulder and upper arm was very painfull and stiff. My Doctor gave me a steroid injection in the shoulder area, after a couple of weeks the shoulder and arm was more flexible and the pain is now only now and again. I can now do things with limitations. My sleeping pattern is much better without the intense pain on movement. Hope you can get such help with your problem. Best wishes.
Same here but it comes and goes. It's not ther all the time.
I have the same problems and the pain is worse in the colder weather...Best wishes
Yes I am having a similar problem, having physo at the moment which has really helped.
I have Raynaud's, Scleroderma, Sjogren's & fibro as well as pulmonary hypertension. I have the same pain which interrupts my sleep. I find that the heating pad helps the most. My Rheumy also has me on Paquenil & Savella. Aspercreme helps as well.
Thank you all for your replies, i had a steroid jab last year but it didn't help much . my shoulder is now clicking when i move it will have to mention it when i go back in May .i have tried heat packs nothing seems to help ,best wishes all in this bad weather to you all lyn
I have this problem also, in addition to pain in legs and knees in particular. My Rheumatologist is sending me for x-ray on next visit, he suspects it's rheumatism/arthritis and he's prescribed pain killers.
Of course, it's just a question of putting up with it. However it's nice to know what is actually going on. Take care.
