Severe joint pain
Since August 26th, I've been suffering from severe joint pain. I have had joint pain before - for the year after the boys were born - but it was only in my hands and feet. After a year or accupuncture, the pain subsided. This pain is in every single joint in my body: feet, hands, elbows, knees, pelvis, spine. It is ridiculously painful and makes me feel and look like I'm 140 years old when I try to move. I've been trying to figure out why it came on all of a sudden. The day that it started was also the first day that I had stopped my Shingles medication. I also wonder if I've had joint pain all along, but the chemo steroids had masked it. I don't know, but I do know that the pain is so severe that Dave made me call the emergency number at the oncologist's office on a Sunday. They called back and advised me to have my blood labs done. I just got that done today.....so maybe I'll have some answers on Monday.....but, I can't imagine it's going to be anything easy to figure out or solve.
