Hi all, I wanted to ask if this was common in RA?

I feel that in my wrists, it feels like i have hit my funny bone, its that buzzy odd sensation you get when u bang your elbow....and i cant lean on my ebows atm as it feels really uncomfortable and i just had a cuppa and to life my right arm to lift it was painful on my shoulder...

Is this common?

Love senna xxx

    Hi Senna,

    This bone shift isn't fair flower at all and I don't know about ra cus I have pa but the elbows... right there with you.

    Its best to get it checked out cus I got something in the back of my mind that they told me it was abut but can't remember what it was :oops: Its best to run it past your rumo but I think its quite common in ra and pa for sure.

    Hope it will soon pass. Cris x

    Hi Senna,

    I have RA and painful wrists to the point of not being able to lift a cup.
    I don't have the same sensation that you are describing.
    You should go to the Dr. it could be carpal tunnel or something.
    I had that years ago before the RA started but it was so long ago I can't remember the symptons!

    I always thought RA stood for rheumatoid, but i culd be wrong, so i cant clear it up, maybe someone else here can help :)

    I'm afraid it's all common with RA Senna. (RA does stand for Rheumatoid Arthritis). Please do mention it to your nurse when you see her.

    It doesn't sound right to me senna, so yes, please inform someone sooner rather than later. It could be a nerve thing, a carpal tunnel thing, an RSI (repetitive strain injury) type thing but it needs checking. I hope it is feeling easier today. DD

    Hifrom me too.
    I have sero neg in my hands and wrists and when I told my rheumy nurse about the pains in my albow she said it was golfer's elbow caused by the RA. It's not exactly as you describe but similar just more of an ache and relentless at this moment in time :roll:

    Worth a mention to the GP all the same though :grin:

    Hi senna

    l get that elbow thingy too.

    They explained it to me in terms of that all the bits and peices are in the joint area and when there is swelling/inflamation the
    nerves can get trapped or squeezed a bit.

    Hope it goes off soon.

    Love
