Hi, I’m just after some reassurance. This last few weeks I have had a really sore elbow, wrist and knee. My feet sometimes hurt until I get them going some mornings.
I called the gp, not because I’m in agony (I’m not) but because I would always hate for them to say “if only you’d come earlier” kind of thing.
Anyway, the doctor rang yesterday to talk about my achey joints and said she’d like to see me and would look at my joints and perhaps test me for rheumatoid arthritis.
I am now in a massive panic that that’s what I might have.
If you have it how did yours start?
How bad is it?
How awful do the meds make you feel?
Not got an appointment til Thursday.
Thanks

Gosh @IWishTheBishopWell none of that sounds very good. I had another call from the docs today to say my thyroid results weren’t great. They’re going to ignore that for now and repeat the test in 2 months.
My elbow is still sore and sometimes it feels like there’s a little worm wriggling about in it, a bit like when you’re pregnant and you feel that fluttering. Am hoping I’m not growing a baby in my elbow!
Hope your wait to see the specialist isn’t too long x
