I was diagnosed as having arthritis, may be, 6 years ago. I am not on meds. often, as a matter of fact, most of the meds. I have taken have not worked.
Anyways, sometimes when I have a flare up (like I am now), I feel pain all over and I wonder if what I have is actually arthritis. I will tell you how and where I feel the pain and you tell me if you've ever felt like this.
My toes, sometimes my ankles, wrists, my knees, elbows, lower back, fingers, I sometimes feeling a tingle in my legs and fingers and they feel a little stiff, my breasts hurts, I feel very exhausted, sometimes the sole of my feet hurts, I ache ALL OVER (except for pubic area and head), it's like every single bone in my body is affected.
I am not feeling severe pain, but it's just an annoying, lingering, feeling. I feel like this every three weeks or so.
I know I need to go see a doctor, but, I am BROKE and have no insurance.
