I have been diagnosed with PA after 5yrs of feeling very sore and unable to do very much. Problems with muscle loss in arms and around shoulders which have caused loose elbow and shoulder joints. Shoulders feel as though they are clunking and sore all the time because of this. Never really know which activity causes the pain. Have been told to build muscle up gently. Has anyone else experience of this. Also told my fear of pain is holding be back. Taking Methotrexate, Etoricoxib (Arcoxia) and Amitriptyline. The Amitriptyline is to replace Paracetamol and Codeine because I was taking too many. Know this all sounds mixed up but feel worried and frightened.
