Hi everyone,
I'm getting terrible pain in my muscles at night and morning i can't breath in properly as it hurts as if ive strained them coughing or something, just i havent had a cough. my legs and shoulders also ache. Is this due to arthur? i have RA.
Also while im on. I've been put on sulfasalazine after my body didn't like methatrexate or leflunomide. The rheumy said if this doesn't work or i'm allergic, he will consider putting me on biologics does anyone know what this group of drugs are? I should of asked but as usual i nodded and said ok. oops.
Thanks in advance

Hello,
Sorry you are in so much pain and not knowing why must make it worse, it you're anything like me you start worrying about allsorts of things and imagining the worse :!: You need to see your GP as soon as possible, as a doctor is the only person qualified to and do the tests necessery to make a diagnosis and put your mind at rest :!:
I'm sure if you see your GP yo'll feel better, the aches and pains you describe could be due to lots of things which only a medic can tell :? Sorry not to be able to give you the answers you need, as it could be RA or lots of other things, but you really need proper help. Hope you soon feel better. Take Care Sue xxx
