Carpal Tunnel Lyme
Could I have rheumatoid arthritis or Lyme disease? !?
I was progressing stiffness and pain in my hands, wrists and elbows. I have not seen a doctor because I figured it was mild Carpal tunnel. Well, the pain and stiffness went from bad to worse. Also I have another strange symptom that has been developed over the past months that have been overlooked. You have chronic ear pain and temporal headache. I went to a doctor and he confirmed that there was no ear infection, and I said it was stress. LOL Is it possible that arthritis is the cause of pain in the joints and cause the ATM, which in turn is the cause of my ear pain and headache? Please help, and how I can relieve this pain? Do I need pain medication? I took ibuprofen and not helped at all. Any suggestions would be great.
These symptoms sound typical of Lyme disease, rheumatoid arthritis, and some other autoimmune disorders. You should see your doctor for a Lyme test. You can also direct you to a rheumatologist or run multiple tests: ANA, sedimentation rate, protein C reactive RF, for example, would mean inflammatory conditions and autoimmune diseases. Definitely get this checked and you feel better!
