Painns in bonesthere

[Doey1962]

Does anyone out there suffer from pains in the bones in the top and around the ankles of their feet, also wrists and hands, sometimes picking a cup up can course pain to shoot to both hands and wrists. If so what is it, can I do anything about it.

What you describe sounds as if it might be tendonitis - it can cause that sort of pain with that sort of action.

Thank you, will book a doctor's appointment, this feels more like bone pain than tendons

Hi D, sounds like what I get too. My Dr decided it was Fibromyalgia, common with Lupus and put me on low dose pregabalin. It's only been a few months, but I think it's taking some of the edge off the pains in my tendons. It usually helps me sleep as well.

It feels more like it's in my bones than tendons, but thank you, will book an appointment with the doctor's

Yes, I have it in my ankles and wrists. It feels like it’s the bone and it’s horrible. It is tendonitis. I wear elasticated gloves and now I have athletic tape for the hands and wrists. I have been told to go to a podiatrist for the ankles but I have to pay so not happening at the moment. Hot n cold baths reduce inflammation and pain in hands.

Hi Doey! I’ll second Hamptons. I get tendinitis after repetitive use and sometimes after nothing at all. Sometimes it gets so bad, I get friction rubs. Feels and sounds like tight stretching rubber bands right over where hand meets wrist or foot meets leg. Any weight bearing causes pain. I would wear wrist braces for about a week or two to limit lateral motion. I’ve also had it in Achilles’ tendon and had to wait it out. Surprisingly, I haven’t had it too often since being on Plaquenil.

Hi I get this too. The pain in my ankles radiating down my feet was so bad I saw a podiatrist who gave me orthotics and told me to wear sensible shoes with a sturdy sole. It did not help at all. My GP said I had carpal tunnel syndrome and sent me for nerve conductor tests. They were inconclusive. The pain in my hands makes me drop things . I went to a Chiropractor out of sheer desperation. I was not expecting much to be honest. He put a thrust down into my foot. A very large crack and my ankle pain disappeared. My wrist pain has proved harder to deal with but I have acupuncture and take Garbapentin at night. I hope that your GP is more helpful. Good luck
