Guest guest Posted November 7, 2005 Report Share Posted November 7, 2005 I am new to this group. Three yrs ago I had an episode where my legs started hurting horribly and then the rest of my body. It was six weeks after I had my ovaries removed. I was only 28 at the time. The doctors could not find anything(bunch of tests), and it finally went away after 3 weeks. I have been feeling very tired and run down for a few months now and about 3 weeks ago I started having this same pain in my legs. It spread quickly and now every joint and muscle seems to hurt. My doctor checked my Rheumatoid Factor and said it was high. They also ran blood test checking for lupus and muscle diseases, but these were normal. I am waiting to see Rheumatologist next week. My doctor started me on Mobic and pain meds until I go. I am very scared because of the pain and the fact that I can hardly do anything! I am having a lot of muscle weakness, especially in my legs and arms. Is this common with RA? Some of my friends thinks it sounds more like MS. Any input on what to expect at the rheumatologist visit or things to ask him would be greatly appreciated. Sorry for long post. Thanks, Stacie Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
