Sudden all over joint pain

[Cocothebear]

we celebrated work Xmas do Saturday and I drank quite heavily, including port (not normally a red/port drinker). I was fine Sunday morning just hungover but had a nap in the afternoon and woke with stiff painful fingers and wrists. Yesterday morning I woke and my knees and feet joints hurt too. Going up and down the stairs is hard work. It improves throughout the day slightly. I don’t feel unwell in my self. Could this be a reaction to alcohol? Worried it’s something more sinister but it came on so sudden. Any ideas?

Have you had your vit d and feretin checked?
Either/ or both of those can effect that

I had this one. It was viral myalgia. Went on its own.

@worldwidetravel2017 I had my bloods checked a couple of months ago and my iron and vit D we’re both okay 😌

@RougeFraise how did yours start/feel? How long did it take to go away? Mines mainly in my fingers wrists elbows and heel.

thank you both!

Dya know the numbers?

Getting my vit d from 33 to 77 to 89 really helped me

Winter now / less day light/ sun light than 2 months ago

Also feretin - when u say okay - sitting @ around 100 ?

Also , have u seen a rheumatologist ?

I had similar symptoms but much worse, I could barely walk. Doctor couldn’t find anything wrong and said probably viral myalgia. Basically he thinks I’ve had a virus and it’s affected my muscles. It has eased over time but has taken many months to feel better and I’m still not 100%.

What, 3 days after acute onset? Come on.

OP, when I had this it was the first symptom of Covid. My hip pain was so bad I wondered if I'd broken it somehow (I'm early 40s!). So I guess it was also viral myalgia a PP mentioned.

Gout?

It lasted about a week. Worse in the mornings, I had a young baby at the time and my fingers wouldn’t work to pick her up. It eased as the day went on.

I would ask to be tested for gout.

Thanks everyone. @worldwidetravel2017 my VitD was around 85. The ferritin I remember being good as I’ve been low before but can’t remember the number.

@CherryJones1 and @Seaitoverthere I did think gout but everything I’ve read says it generally only affects one or two areas and they tend to be below the waist? Mine are fingers wrists elbows knees and heels. Am I wrong?

Pain was bloody awful this morning I struggled doing my girls ponytails and driving to school, called GP and they’ve done urgent bloods as suspected RA?? Results will be back tmro. I didn’t think it could come on that quick but it’s scared the living shit out of me. Can’t imagine my bloods not being up the wall regardless when I feel like this?!

@RougeFraise and @CornishPorsche I’m hoping it’s the post viral one and will clear up on its own!

@Seaitoverthere just checked and she’s put Utica Acid on my bloods, I think that’s for gout?

Good they are doing bloods. My rheumatologist wanted to rule out gout for me and my hands were affected at the time so think it can be there as well.

Symptom of Covid in this household too!
