After a very stressful event in a day or so I awoke with pain in both ankles. Mostly around the area where the shoes are at their highest. Never had this before and I am certain that the stress triggered it. I do have lyme disease but it's never done this before.

Hello, Sorry to hear your in pain. I am not a doctor but I have always believed that my RA was triggered by stress. Stress definitely brings on flares. But in my situation I went through a year of constant stress. But I am not sure that one day of stress will trigger your RA or not.

My JRA was in complete remission 2 1/2 years ago. We moved. I did not want to move. I have been in extreme pain every since. I am sure that the stress of selling my home and moving triggered the JRA to come back.
