For six years I've had weakness in my arms when resting. When I'm still it feels as if someone has cast a spell on me so I'm bound by some sort of magnetic force or thread like a fly caught in a spider's web -or rather my limbs and face are. I also have touch tenderness and stiffness in elbows, knuckles, knees and ankles. So my neurologist sent me for repeat nerve conduction studies and EMG last week. All found to be very normal and healthy I was told.

Then I saw my rheumatologist about my Sjogrens last Monday and asked him about this elbow tenderness. He prods and I wince. He pronounces this to be tendonitis or tennis elbow. I ask if this is Sjogrens related and he says no it is repetive strain injury related. But as it affects all my limbs I'm fairly sure he's wrong.

So please can anyone offer me a relatively simple or basic explanation of how tendonitis might relate to NLD small fibre neuropathy and tell me if it could explain the resting weakness and fly caught in a web senseation please? Many thanks.
