Could this be Rheumatoid Arthritis ?

Hi,

I've been sick with various symptoms for the past year or so. Diagnosed with hypothyroidism, IBD, and high blood pressure.  One of my symptoms is joint pain... well at least I think its joint pain.

I seem to get these "attacks" of pain in my wrists, knees, fingers, ankles and toes. The pain is sharp and shortlasting, and it moves around to the different parts of my body. I've read that arthritis pain is very personal, but I am still wondering if anyone has anything like this.

I have no swelling or redness. It does not bother me to bend the joints - just these attacks of pain that come out of nowhere and can last anywhere from an hour to days or weeks.

Thanks...

i had a friend who wa diagnosed with it last summer while on a trip. she had severre sweelling and pain in her arm or shoulder area i think so bad she went to the ER and that was her diagnosis. it lasted a short stint and never came back. is that what you have????? i wonder as i think that is short term, have to google it? Pia i know you for a while now, so unless you keep have bouts of this syndrome? good luck hugs yally
