Hi Everyone,
My computer crashed and I am using a friends lap top so sorry I have not been around much.
For the last 3 days my joints in my fingers, elbows, wrists, hips, knees and elbows have been giving me so much pain I am almost crippled. I am having a hard time functioning and have NEVER had pain like this. No swelling, just wide spread pain that is relentless and on going. I can not even sleep at night whilst taking my meds for pain.
If this continues I will call my Rheumy doctor to see why this is happening to the degree that it is. I am just wondering if Lupus can cause pain to this degree? On a scale of 1-10 I am at a 9 and ready to jump off the Brooklyn Bridge.
I am using heating pads to try and get relief along with warm baths, etc...but I just can't continue on like this. I thought I knew what Lupus pain was but I have NEVER had it to this degree.
What do you do when the pain is off the charts? Any suggestions? I hope your all doing well and thank you in advance for any helpful advice you can provide to me.
