Pain and Dr Visit Help/Advice
| Mon, 08-22-2005 - 5:29pm |
Hi, I am seeing the dr for the second time for shoulder pain. I have had knee problems in the past and the dr then said that I had cysts under my knee cap that he could remove. I didn't have it done - had a baby instead. Well, 3 mo after my baby was born all of my joints hurt for about 2 weeks. I thought that it was probably a result of the pregnancy -bones repositioning and it got better. Now ( 2 months later) I have pain in my right shoudler that has lingered for a month. It is worse at night, much much worse and even hurts to hold my baby's bottle. I went to the dr a week and 1/2 ago and she gave me an anti inflamation drug - Mobic and exercises to do for two weeks and thought it would get better. Instead it is worse and now my knee is hurting again too. NOt only does my shoulder hurt but sometimes my elbow and joints in the hand hurt as well. All of the affected joints are on the right side of my body. I tested negative on one test for RA, but my mother in law says there are more tests. I plan to ask for them and for an x-ray. I would also like to know what else I should ask the dr and if you have any insight. I have a paternal aunt and grandfather with RA, but do not know if this is what is keeping me up at night or not...
TIA!
