Ok so here we are five years further on and another update to my thread.
My symptoms had been fairly constant during that time with the main increase being in my hands.
I am still keeping reasonably fit with walks & bike riding.
However a new issue is developing and I'm a bit concerned where it may lead to.
A couple of weeks ago I noticed a tender spot halfway down my spine. Felt like an area was protruding out & was sore to lean against or lie on. After another week I noticed pain across my lower back, hips, sholders & neck. Thinking I may have caused it through over exertion, I did the usual exercises but it didn’t help.
The pain got bad enough to need pain killers just to get up & dressed in the mornings.
Was ok in bed for a while, just turning over was a mision.
But last night I had to take a pain killer just to get through.
I am only using Paracetamol atm which seems to do the trick.
One every four hrs allows me to do my normal things with managable pain.
I guess I should consult my GP re this but with the covid 19 thing & the lockdown, not all that easy.
