Hi Ladies, I thought I would start a new thread to follow on to my previous one asking your opinion on stress induced illnesses, thankyou for your responses.
Just to say that I am intending to see the GP and will hope that he arranges a blood test but in the meantime, whilst I wait, I was hoping for some advice.
I had what I think could be a symptom of fibromyalgia in early January, the soft tissue just above my knee got really sore, if I touched it, nearly went through the roof. No sign of swelling nor any redness just really sore soft tissue and I cannot recall injuring it in any way. It went over after a few days and then a few weeks later I noticed my finger joints feeling a bit stiff and if I pulled on my small finger it felt achy.
Followed on by this a while later the odd burning in my toe and then various aches and pains in my wrists and elbows and I also felt really fatigued for a few days but no swelling in the joints and no heat. I managed a good long walk on the weekend my knees do hurt still and my fingers still feel a bit stiff but no other achy joints. I am so confused after reading up about RA/osteoarthritis and fibroymyalgia, they all seem to have pretty much the same symptoms, thus me wanting a blood test. I am really hoping its not RA but will only know once the blood tests have been taken.
Anyone else had something similiar?
