Arthritis messing with me
Feb. 26th, 2019 09:54 pm My general reaction to they way my arthritis is behaving right now is: WTF?
Normally I always have pain where tendons are attached to the ribcage, and sometimes in the bigger joints.
The sausage fingers (and toes) that are som common when you have psoriatic arthritis os not something that I have had a lot these 22 years with arthritis. Even when I have pain tehy rarely get red and swollen. But since last week several of my fingers have become really swollen and painful and crooked. But it's never mroe than three at ta time - the swelling and pain is moving around like a pin ball. Yesterday and the day before that my ankles and feet hurt so much taht I almsot oculdn't walk, and my ankles were really swollen. Today tehy're better, but this evening a tendon in my left palm got really sore and swollen, as well as my left knee, and my left thumb swelled up.
This is just really, really weird.
Thankfully I have an appointment with a rheumatologist tomorrow. And I have called in sick. I have trouble writing and I am very tired, so this is a short update only.
