Hi Margaret, no wonder you were posting so early!! How horrid.

Remind me what sort of arther you have again.

Before you start getting worried - wrack your brains for any energetic or different activities you did over the weekend that might have set you off aching. If you have arther in the spine you probably have to compensate with other parts of the body.

Rest and dose up on painkillers and see how it goes. If it doesn't get better soon involve the medics.

Let us know how you get on.

Hi Margaret.

I had a bout of bad pains in my thumbs and knuckles and left jaw sometime back, really painful to the point I couldn't open jars and even driving was painful eating was also dam painful, I went to my GP and he said it was tendonitis, I thought yeah my ar&s it is, but anyway I Goggled tendonitis and OA just to see what came up and it came back with pseudo gout, I had never come across this before but I do have and get gout from time to time and it was a bit gouty I must say, I also have OA and the speed at which it came on was much more like gout, bottom line is I guess he was right as it's gone away right now and hands jaw are really good, I hope this info helps.

Mell.

Hi Margaret
Like speedalond says have you done anything different over the weekend, I get pain in my wrist due to pulling myself up out of the bath or low chairs,
I hope it settles down soon for you, and let us know how it goes.
Love

Hi Margaret,

Sorry you woke with more pain. Sadly it can do that but as well agreeing with the others I sometime wake with huge pain and 'all' it is is I slept wrong and a few days and its worn off. I hope its that simple for you and leaving a ((( ))) and a hope. Cris x
