Undiagnosed chest and head pain and hypertension.
Could this be a heart problem that hasn’t yet been picked up, or temporal
arteritis
? My Gp keeps telling me my bloods are fine - there’s nothing wrong! I’d really appreciate any light you can shed on this. Thanks.

Hashimotos. Lichen S and now possibly Rheumatoid arthritis?..
Hi all, I take 75mg Levo (hashimotos). Last couple of weeks my right arm, elbow and wrist has become more and more painful, sore and weak. I also have pains in my other arm but not as bad. Most of my joints are sore and painful at different times. My knees are both swollen and the skin looks purple

Is massage therapy treatment effective for back pain?
Hey there, I'm from Thornhill, and I'm here to get suggestions from you guys. Has anyone tried massage therapy treatment? I had met with an accident a few months back. There were only some minor injuries, and it's getting better with time. But my back pain is unbearable. I'm stressed due to this. Recently

Follow up to positive ANA test
After posting yesterday I had a couple of lovely responses from some people with psoriatic arthritis and I thank them. I was wondering though, if anyone with RA had also tested positive or not. As many of you know I am changing meds, they are being given a month to work - if not then biologics have

Diagnosis
In January I was diagnosed with osteoarthritis in hands feet and knees. However, when I went to have tests done for something else (different department) which meant lying down, the consultant kept asking if my back was okay. I do get pain in my upper back, shoulders and neck but was never asked about
