Could The Pain In My Joints Trigger Fibromyalgia Or Arthritis?
I had a liver biopsy done in June 25, 2013. Since then, I am experiencing joint pain in my entire body. June 30 th to be exact. I don t know if this is coincidental, but it seems too weird. Any chance that it my trigger fybromyalgia or arthritis????.
As per your history and symptoms there is possibility of inflammatory arthritis. You may need to do blood test to confirm diagnosis. When such patients come to our hospital I advise them blood test like ANA, RA factor, ACCP, ESR, complete blood count, HLA B27, thyroid profile.
Medication like methylcobalamine with neurotropic [like pregabalin] and analgesic will reduce pain; you can take them consulting your treating doctor.
Hope this answers your query. If you have additional questions or follow up queries then please do not hesitate in writing to us. I will be happy to answer your queries.
Wishing you good health.
Take care.
