Yes!! Mine will turn so red and swollen too. I've had to make some special adjustments at work as well. My elbows resting on an armrest or table top could be excruciating.
You are so right! I haven't found much for relief other than making sure I don't put additional pressure on them. Or I'll use one of those mouse pads with the extra wrist cushion and rest my arm on those. It looks ridiculous, but it helps. I hope this is short lived for you!
My rheumatologist has taken me off Humaria and hopefully next Friday I'll be on something that works but for now on steroids and hating it no relief just nice to know that other people know what I'm going through
My elbows are the worst and most damaged joints. About 5 years ago I had arthroscopic surgery on my left elbow because it was so damaged. The surgeon told me I needed a full joint replacement, but wouldn't do it because I was too young (31 at the time). I have a lot of trouble with my elbows
I'm getting ready to have an elbow replacement on Monday... I had the arthroscopic surgery and it made it worse... I can't even lift a fork to my mouth
My daughter does, her rheumatologist gave her some excersizes to try and get mobility back (won't straighten completely) not positive that it will in fact happen, but hopeful.
When I first got sick, it was everywhere. I was severe case. I learned about mercury connection. I had been slowly replacing my amalgam fillings but had 3 left. I immediately had them removed by a biological dentist who sent me to a family physician who treats holistically and I received Vit C IV to remove the mercury and two weeks later, all jaw pain was gone and never returned

It's killing me, it's not swollen but hurts so bad I literally can't take this anymore just want to cry
You don't realize how much you use it until it hurts

Unfortunately the only relief I have found is in taking prednisone for the flare ups. The elbows and shoulders are the worst. Hope u feel better soon
Robin Pope thank you

Of course. All joints are susceptible. I even had it in my jaws.
I experienced it in my jaws last night for the first time.
I've had it in my jaw too.

Yes getting ready for an elbow replacement on Monday... I'm in so much pain can't wait to get it over with
Good luck
I had wrist surgery that when RA kicked in
If you can find a traditional Chinese medicine clinic, acupuncture might be helpful?
Yes. It will hit every joint at one time or another. I'm having shoulder issues and it's making all the joints below in horrible pain.
Yes but I am taking natural supplements helping in pain relief !
Yes! I do! It's only in one elbow and it can take me to my knees. The pain will come out of the blue sometimes. So odd! Prayers for you
No, usually my hands, wrists, knees. Heat helps an peppermint essential oils rubbed in on the sore spot.
Yes very much in my elbows
