Hi,I am Dr. Gopal Goel (Orthopaedic Surgeon). I will be looking into your question and guiding you through the process. Please write your question below.
Is Muscle Pain In My Right Arm Associated With Palindromic Rheumatism?
I a suffering a great deal of pain in the muscle at the top of my right arm. There is no pain when I relax it, but when I try to move, especially at night it can be excruciating. Also trying to wash hands etc. Small movements can be more painful than say reaching in the air for something. The longer the arm is still the harder it becomes to moveit. After being up for a hour or so it becomes easier although I still have to make some allowances turning the steering wheel when driving. I have been diagnosed with palindromic rheumatism about 2 yrs ago and am taking medication for this. I have recently been suffering from severe sinusitis which has left me with glue ears. Do you think any of this is connected?
