Re: Concerned about Pain

Any stress might trigger RA but from your

symptoms I think other things might be more likely. A neurologist should

be able to help with the tingling sensation and that might point toward

some particular problem. With possible multiple diseases it would be good

to go to a major clinic like Mayo or s Hopkins, or a good teaching hospital

so multiple specialists can examine you. I hope you are able to get some

answers and some relief. God bless.

Concerned about Pain

I had recently been in the hosp. 2xs since Dec. I had a 4 1/2 hr+

gran mal seizure. Once i was stabilized

there from my epilepsy, i

noticed i was experiencing alot of pain an

discomfort on my left

side. I also noticed a tingling sensation in

my left arm down to my

toes.

I asked the dr. about the possibility of having a

stroke. and was

told my tests given did not sayi had one.

my left arm and hand are curling inwards and

" hooking " . My mother

was crippled to a wheelchair at 36 yrs of age with

RA.

Now i am concerned for myself that somehow after

my two near death

experinces with the ventilator exs, and incubated

3xs too. That i

have contracted RA.

I cannot feel my toes on the left and my

fingertips feel like they

are pushing from the inside to the outside.

My epilepsy has really had me for a tailspin these

months since Dec.

I have been given Skelaxin 800 mgs 3xs a day (no

good after 2 wks).

Cymbalta 20 mgs 1x a day (no good). Motrin 800 mgs

3xs a day (no

good either).

The dr's ask how my pain level is on a scale 1-10,

i say 65! it

hurts that much.

I have tried OT & PT. no more can be

done. i am partialy paralyzed

now after these seizures on my left side.

Can anyone tell me if this is possible for me to

get RA after my

seizures?

Please help.
