Im not sure its actually arthritis anymore..

I am a 26 year old female. I do have a pin in my hand, so I ignored any kind of pain for a long time, but its getting weird..

Ive been experiencing mild to severe cramping in my hands, feet, forearms and calves. The other morning I woke up and my left are was numb from about the elbow down, this lasted for about thirty minutes, after, it began tingling and it was painful, and sort of burned. My elbow is still sore. Today my joints in my left hand have started hurting, kind of like I jammed my fingers, but I didnt. And Im constantly feeling a "burning" sensation under my skin. I do feel tired, and just sort of off, most of the time.

I dont know if its related, but it seems like every once and awhile lately, my vision gets all wonky. I can usually blink or shake it off, but sometimes it lasts awhile. Lately Ive been having this weird "lump" feeling in my throat, a little trouble swollowing, it just feels like my throat is swole up.

Also, I have these attacks of being itchy. Usually on my lower back, some times all over, it gets intense and then goes away really quick. Theres nothing there, and no reason for it. It happens all the time, during different activities.

Maybe none of this is related and there are simple explanations for everything. Im just tired of it, and this is what woke me up tonight..

Have you seen your doctor about these symptoms? I would suggest you make an appointment to get checked out. It could be something simple, as you hope, but it could be early symptoms of something not so simple. You won't know until you're seen by your doctor, and perhaps a specialist.
