joints

I would like to please hear from anyone who has or is experiencing joint and muscle aches pre treatment.  My joints fingers, knees, ankles, and muscles ache deeply, sometimes it's hard to be comfortable even to sleep.  I explained this to the doc and he did some blood test to determine arthritis?  That was weeks ago and he's not been very helpful.  Any info or remedies would be greatly appreciated.  Mine is a very physical job and sometimes and the end of my day it seems my legs will barely carry me.

Thanks, Robin

Had problems with both my shoulders from over use to. Ended up with rotator cuff surgery on both. One 15 years ago the other just before tx. The recovery was long but they work like a charm now (though I am still doing therapy on this last one). I hadn't read about interferon being an anti inflamatory. Interesting. LL

I had pain in both shouldes from over use.The problem was called adhisive capulitis or frozen sholder. The best solution was just to work it is several streches 3 times a day. The problem is inflamation of the capsula which covers the sholder joint. Some feel that interfurion is a anti inflamitory, it must be because one good sx for me is my sholder feels fine!

Layla,glad to hear you feel better, hope tomorrow is even better

Sounds a lot like what I had-gout. Especially the hot and red part and the diet connection. Have his uric acid checked. I didn't have it before tx and hope it goes away now that I'm done. Good luck.
