Guest guest Posted September 13, 2005 Report Share Posted September 13, 2005 hi guys i've been provisionally diagnosed with ra (have to have more tests again in 6-8 weeks) and i am really scared. i knew that i wasn't right as my fingers have been really aching (as have my legs and hips) and they're swollen my doc wanted to put me on antiinflammatories and steroids but was ok when i said i didn't really want to start taking them as yet i am in pain at night but i thought it was due to an old back injury with referred pain, now i think it is due to the arthritis. my hips hurt to lie on and my feet can't lie on each other just a couple of q's does this disease flare up? ie, will it be this bad (i know that it's not that bad comparitively) or will it receede are there any websites that are good to visit? thanks guys i am just shellshocked at the moment mel ps i am 34 with a 4.5 year old son and a wonderful hubby who unfortunantly lives away from us during the week Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
