Last night by the time my day was done, I didn't want to use my hands to even unlock the door to my apartment, and walking down the hall was not easy either. Felt like my fingers and toes were going to just fall off or snap like a rubber band that gets pulled too tightly. Having a hard time typing. Got some arthritis gloves, seem to help a little bit. I will see my new primary care doc in about a month. What do I do to get thru until I can see the doc, get tests done, hopefully it won't take forever for a dx, and find treatment that will help? I know it will take time. Without a dx it's like I don't know how to handle whatever it is that is going on. Do I just go with whatever feels good? Just feeling frustrated.
As far as the hand/arm/neck nerve thing, I did go ahead and schedule the EMG, it's in about a week and a half. Just figured I'd be much better off going to see my new doc with the results from the test ordered by the old doc, rather than waiting for new doc to order and schedule the test.
Getting prepared for Mayo in a couple weeks. Nervous, but just want to get things moving along.
So frustrated. 2 months ago, no joint pains. Now trouble w/ everyday tasks, even brushing my cat. Help!
