Suggest Treatment For Joints Pain And Achilles Tendons On Both Legs When Diagnosed With Rheumatoid Arthritis
I have been diagnosed with Rheumatoid arthritis. My joints don t hurt but, my tendons do. I have swelling of my ankles and fingers about 75% of the time. My Achilles tendons on both legs have developed lumps, if you will. My tendons on both sides of my elbows are very tender to touch as well as my Achilles. I have difficulty walking in the mornings and at times, I feel like I have a low grade fever and flu aches all over. I just usually sleep and rest those days. I also have places on my body that feel sore to touch. Like a stone bruise. Hips and thighs mainly. My question is ,does this sound like R.A.?
