As an aside, you know you spend too much time on VolNation when you begin to think in gifs.

Does anyone here have Rheumatoid Arthritis? This has been going on the last couple months for me and I want to see if anyone can offer some kind of solace. Hell, I’ll even take prayers at this point. It started with my right knee. I noticed it was swollen one day, didn’t think much of it. As the days passed, the swelling intensified. I couldn’t move my knee like I used to, walking started to hurt.. I went to the doctor. They took my age and assumed I just hurt myself and recommended arthroscopic surgery after several failed aspirations. By this time, my left knee was starting to swell.. then stiffen.. then hurt.

I went through with the surgery. They found nothing, aside from inflamed tissue. Now my left knee is killing me, and my right knee is recovering from surgery. My dad’s side of the family has RA history running rampant in it. But always in the hands, and always presenting in their 40s-50s. I’m 24, and this is my knees. I don’t know what to do, I see a rheumatologist next week. But this has ruined my life. I haven’t worked in two months, and I don’t see an end in sight.

Getting a diagnosis is first base, so keep your appointment.

if you travel in the Caribbean (viral and other diseases there that can cause bone and joint problems) or hunt or hike where ticks are, be sure and tell your Dr.

I had similar symptoms and finally after ruling out 20 things, we got it figured out.

hope is in your future

Seriously sorry to hear this. I will just say that I hope you get some answers and treatment and have a full recovery. Prayers, for sure.

Normally, I would think the opposite, but the longer this drags out i think Al comes here.

It would be easy to say, i am staying - that isn't the decision he is thinking about. It is the decision to leave.

If he stays, this is a quick tweet and we all move on. He is really contemplating it in my opinion.
