does anyone else suffer from nausia alot? im getting it alot, feeling really rough and sickly. ive been having rib pains for the last few months and in the middle of my chest too?
add that to the muscle pains im getting all over, in my neck, shoulders, arms and bum ( :oops: ) and pains behind my knees and in the bends of my arms (if that makes sense) ~ is this all part of arthritis?

im getting used to most symptoms but these are confusing me, any ideas x

    Hi Dip..
    I have been plagued with the rib pain for some time, also the inside bends of my arms when I'm having a bad day.

    With regard to the rib pain, it tends to be more when I am stressed about things e.g. hosp appts.
    Will be interesting to see if it is a common area of pain though!

    im curious as i was only recently diagnosed with oa and didnt think i got these kind of symptoms with this arthritis?
    my gp is still doing tests, my last bloods showed inflammatory markers were high so he's referred me back to the rheummy (my appt is on tuesday)

    I get rib pain but mostly at one side. Not convinced it is arthritis related but no-one seems to know what it is. Some peeps say it is quite common.

    Hi Caroline,

    Just wanted to wish you well for the Rhumey appt. Perhaps you could ask about it then. There does seem to a few of us that have these Odd symtoms now and then. So might be worth mentioning?

    Good luck anyway,

    Ive woke up this morning not being able to raise my arms at all or bend them. Taken my meds and its easing a little but still can't reach out or I get cramps/spasms in my muscles.

    Ive written all my symptoms down and also sent a copy with a covering letter by post so he will have it on his file to read before the appointment.

    Fingers crossed for some answers... my husband is going with me and he has vowed to make the doctor listen (he's a strong man who won't leave the office without the doctor listening to my symptoms ~ he said he'd tell him about them as he sees me everyday and I get all flustered. He's a great support my hubby :D )

    Will let you know how I get on on Tuesday... x
