Hi ,sorry to hear you are in so much pain ,when I get pain in my upper arms for me it means I need my shoulders injected with a steroid as the pain from the shoulder is radiating down the arm and this can be painful enough to keep you awake at night ,hopefully when you see your consultant next week he will help you , you may need an overall kenalog injection to dampen this down ,hope this helps a little ,Anne

Hi Debbie
A few of us were takling about a similar paiun not long ago - I thinks the thread was started by Magenta. If it's any help work your way through the older threads. I have the knee one and I know she had the shoulder one and others did too.
Oops!! sorry should have welcomed you!
WELCOME from me!

thank you so much for your replies,

hubby now home, a cuddle and a couple of pain killers have help.
feel like a big baby, but for some reason today i didn,t want to be alone, it felt like a big black sqaushing pain.

i'll read the past threads to help deal with tomorrow,

thanks again

hi Debbierose

Welcome to the site. Your hubby sounds lovely and provided the best medicine. Sorry to hear about your pain. I've been having pain in my shoulder recently, enought to keep me awake, so have taken Diclofenac again, even though I was hoping to stop taking it. I haven't got RA, but the pain is the same, I think.
You will soon find out that you are not alone if you are feeling down. You only have to post a message, and lots of people will be there for you,

Hi, welcome to the site, glad you've found us!
Pain takes you over, doesn't it. I have OA, so others can give more practical advice. When you're on your own, things build up, this site can help, as someone is always around, don't be frightened to just moan or rant!!! I DO :oops: Just saying hello Love Sue

hi debbierose sorry to hear you are in pain, I think the stress of Christmas and cold ,damp weather don't help matters.
I have had RA for a while now and wonder if your pain could be tendonitis I get this in my arms and in shoulder areas. I have had tendonitis several times in my feet and lower legs before but not in my upper legs.
Storng painkillers and steroid injections help.
Maybe it is worth discussing your pains with your rheumy nurse for a proper diagnosis but some of your pains sound similar, though I could be completly wrong.
hope you are feeling better soon

Hi Debbie

Glad you are feeling better. Cuddles work a treat, nice bath with bubbles too, how about a pot of tea to go with that too.

Call in for a chat, moan or rant anytime

Love
