Hi There, (Mid 30's male)
I am new and extremely worried and concerned - I can only hope that you guys can help me understand what is going on with me? In May 2008 my joints became sore and tender for a month then it went away for 3 weeks, in June in cam back for another month this time ankles, wrists shoulders knees. I was concerned and my dr ran blood tests which came back great no elevated signs of anything? Again it went away for about 2 weeks, then it came back again this time only in my wrists elbows and shoulders - it was a dull deep pain in my joints and no meds helped to rubs helped? Since then it has stayed the same in my joints but I now have arm tendon pain? and feel like someone has straped bands around my forearms? wrists the tendons hurt in the joints? Its cronic - while i am typing this it is hurting? I am freaking out? what is wrong with me? |

Sorry you are having to go through this. What kind of doctor evaluated you? What kinds of tests were run? Some things are not that easy to diagnose. It may take some time and perseverance. Did your joints get warm and red? This is just too vague. I hope someone else will come in and help out. But, maybe, you could give a little more info.
Also, welcome to NT. There are lots of good, caring, knowledgable people around here. Check out some of the other forums, and do some reading. You may find someone with similar problems, that can help you. Are you on any medications?

Usually I can diagnose people even though I have no medical degree. self educated. I can only tell you to keep researching yourself. Sometimes if you keep looking for a zebra it really is a horse! In other words look for conditions that what you are feeling are symptons of.
Best of luck and don't give up. Check for Lymes disease too. Multiple Sclerosis, Vitamin deficiency that would cause these symptons. |

Have they done Xrays or bloodwork to rule out arthritis??
Good luck!

Did your doctor test you for lyme disease? Your symptoms match some of those associated with Lyme.
Did you notice a rash prior to the onset of joint pain?
