Guest guest Posted April 23, 2005 Report Share Posted April 23, 2005 Does anyone else have it where the problem moves from spot to spot every few days? Early last week my hip was flaring REALLY extremely. I could NOT move it in any direction at all, the entire area where the leg of underpants would be was swollen. That lasted 2 full days. It receded as new pain began in my achilles tendon area on the other side. as that slowly subsided, both ring fingers contracted and huge lumps formed in my palms. (tendons, tendon sheaths- like trigger finger) Day to day it moves around from one place to another. My formal dx is psoriatic arthritis, altho I only had a couple months of very mild psoriasis on my tummy. I began mtx last year after 2 years of not being able to afford any meds. I only have Rx for ibuprofen for pain, not sure WHY my rheumy is not more aggressive on pain control. I AM going to demand more aggressive treatment, I have been suffering this profoundly, out of my head literally delierious from pain for 3 years, now. It seems MUCH worse in spring, and in fall, less worse in mid winter and much better in summer unless it is thunderstormy. My husband is very very ill, and I have 2 disabled kids, I cannot keep living this way if there is something that can be done. But I seldom hear people say their problem areas are in different places on different days. My fingers, toes and wrists are almost always like sausages, stiff swollen, often unuseable, but this other stuff moves so much. Does anyone else have this or is it just me? and this level of pain blows my mind. I had 3 kids with NO meds at all, had knee surgery before there was arthroscopic surgery with no pain meds after the first 4 hours post surgery. But this pain liiterally takes me to my knees and OFTEN. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
