Hi, just signed up, looking for so.e friendly advice. Over the last 4-6 weeks both knees have become increasingly swollen, stiff and difficult to move. My eye lids have swollen & are gritty. I feel slow & stiff in the mornings, getting up from sitting is hard & to get moving, the first steps are painful. But the other usual symptoms seem to be fleeting. Sometimes my hands are puffy & feel stiff. Other joints ache at times but are ok most of the time. Energy levels are low but not terrible. Blood tests are all normal & I'm waiting for xray results on hands & knees. The gp says I don't fit enough symptoms for referral to rheumatology. I feel like I'm in limbo. Any advice would be great. Thank you.
