Confused and not sure what to do next
Hi all, I am 32 years old and about three weeks ago I was studing and writing for 1.5 to 2 hours and had really bad pain, swelling, and reddness in my right hand. I told my doctor and he did a hand x-ray and some blood work for polyarthritis. Everything came back negative, they are as followes:
X-ray right hand normal
RF-7
CCP- <16
SED Rate- 1
ANA IFA- neg and neg
Other hisory:
same vist enlarged prostate, difficulty urinating, PSA- 0.4, taking flowmax
chronic fatigue for years
Back problems:
I had x-rays and MRI of the lumbar in 2009 and it said:
X-ray: Minimal anterior marginal osteophyte formation at the superior endplate of L5, other wise negative.
MRI: L4-L5 anular tear with very small central protrusion causing minimal impression on the ventral thecal sac no significant central canal narrowing and no neural foraminal narrowing is seen.
L5-S1 diffuse disk bulge without central canal narrowing or neural foraminal narrowing, it does not touch the exiting S1 nerve roots.
I see my nurologist on monday for back and leg pain, but other than that my primary doc says he has done everthing he knows and that is it. I know something is wrong but I do not know what.
Any ideas?
Thank you Matthew
