Something Strange is Going on with Me-Help!

[slenamond]

Before I begin, I have called my doc and I am going to see her asap.
Too, I have not been working out so this is not an exercise injury.

On the 6th of Dec. I felt a little pressure behind my left knee - didn't hurt. The next day the ourside of my left thigh hurt - kinda like I had a bruise all up and down my leg. Then my left knee hurt like crazy when I bent it. It woke me up at night - it REALLY hurt. It went up into my hip and rear. I always felt it even when it was not hurting badly.

My knee got better but I still feel the hurt (like a bruise) on the outside of my thigh. Then my right elbow started to hurt. When I put my arm straight it smarts.

Now the sides of both my thigh hurt, my elbow still hurts and my joint where my big toe meets my foot hurts. It smarts to curl my toe.

I would think something is going on with my joints but there is no joint in my thigh - that is muscle.

I am not over weight so its not related to that.

I don't know why I am hurting. When I have been sitting for a period of time and get up my thighs really hurt and I hobble a bit.

This is crazy. Does anyone have any idea what this could be? It's been 3 weeks now and I am not better except that my knee doesn't hurt like it did.

Thanks,
Sharon

Sharon - I can think of several reasons you're hurting, but the doctor needs to see you to make a correct diagnosis. I would not even venture a guess right now. Good luck and I hope the New Year brings you a quick diagnosis and great health.

Call your doctor NOW, tell the receptionist what you wrote here and that you have to get in immediately. If for whatever reason you can't - go to the emergency room. Three weeks and it's not gone away? I'm worried putting this off could result in serious damage. PLEASE see a doctor now.

Just a thought.....are you taking any new medication? I had a reaction to Augmentin that caused severe generalized joint pain. I couldn't even put on my shoes without severe pain. It took a few weeks for the medication to wash out of my system. I was miserable!x(

Definitely call your doctors office and request that they fit you in so you can get to the bottom of this. I'd be interested to know what you find out.

Take care
