All of a sudden my hand and feet feel like how arthritis is described. All my tests came back normal except my Tsh was alittle low. My doctor tried to tell me that the pin and needles feeling was because I must have been having a panic attack! I broke down and cried, My hands and joints hurt! I can feel them sliding around and cracklin. My physical symptoms say RA but my tests say I am healthy. I hate hurting without proof of diagnosis.
Looking back I have had symptoms for a long time. My ankles was diagnosed add gout years ago, even though I've never had uric acid high enough. My doctor has no idea why I hurt.
Dr is starting me on Cymbalta, keeping me in indomethacin and taking me off the prednisone that finally brought relief from symptoms. Now I have to try to get an Appt with the only RA specialist that is taking new patients and my insurance covers. She has to review my file and notes before I can even schedule an Appt. I am afraid with all the normal tests she won't let me make an Appt.
