Arthritis Pain???? Posted: 12-13-03 20:24pm
I am 34 and a few years ago I was
diagnosed with arthritis. Whilst this has
not caused me great problems recently
(touch wood!) I have been experiencing
severe pain in my right arm and numbness
in my fingers and wrist. My doctor does
not seem convinced that arthritis is the
cause and has prescribed codydramol and
amitriptyline for the pain and to help me
sleep - the pain I experience is far worse
whem I am lying down. What I would like
to know, if anyone can help, is whether my
symptoms are consistent with the arthritis
I was diagnosed with previously, or have I
inadvertently suffered some form of nerve
damage? Apologies for such a woolly
question, but the pain is quite
distressing at times, and to date, nothing
seems to work in relieving it.
