Hi, I just wondered if anyone has any
advice/is going through anything
similar/any ideas doctors won't have
suggested.
It all started when i dislocated my right
knee. The next day my left knee started
hurting and they haven't stopped since. A
month later my fingers and wrist joints
began to hurt, so painfull i couldn't
write. Sicne then the pain has moved into
all of my joints, even my jaw.
A lot of the time the left side of my body
is painful and has an odd numb feeling.
Like when you've been lying on your
arm...except that it's not actually numb.
The worst I have been is when I woke up on
2nd Jan with a shap stabbing pain in my
stomach, low down. I sat up and fainted
cause of the pain. I felt like I was going
to be sick and needed the toilet all at
the same time. I could hardly move at ths
point for all the pain in my joints.
Shortly after I started to shake
uncontrollably and my fingers and toes
turned blue.
I was rushed to hospital and put on
ibuprofen and a drip and recovered slowly.
The rheumatologist thinks it might be
arthritis but nothing has been done about
it, no tests, no diagnosis, no cure.
Help! I'm only 20, I can't have this for
the rest of my life!
