I have SFN and have pain all of the time. However, last week I started having really bad pain in my arms and back. It is not just the burning. It is alot of muscle and joint pain. It hurts to touch my elbow joints and my hands are really sore as I am typing. As usual it is hard for me to describe. It feels like I have been beaten in my arms. Worse then how you feel when you have the flu but I am not sick. I can't figure it out. I did stop my Plaquenil a while ago but it was a few weeks before these symptoms showed up. I did not like that med it made me feel indifferent to everything and everyone. I figured out it was from that after I ran out and didn't have it for three days. I felt happy again. Then I had it refilled and took it again. Even my husband said he saw a noticeable difference. It has been about a month so I don't think it is from the medication.
Any ideas. I've been waiting to see if it goes away but it has been about a week now. Any thoughts would be appreciated.
