Suggest Treatment For Pain In The Shoulder, Hands, Knees And Hips
I have problems in my shoulders, wrist and hands, knees, and hips. When the flair up starts its like, (which ever part of my body that it affects), it starts just being sore but about 8 hours later it turns into the worst pain that you can possibly imagine. The pain is so severe that I lose the ability to even move. This pain normally last about 24 hours, then just like it came it goes away just like nothing ever happened, no pain or anything remain. What could be causing this?

Hello,
If you are experiencing severe pain in a certain joint in one moment and it goes away so soon and then another joint is affected then you will need to have checked to rule out the rheumatic fever.
This can affect the joints and causes the typical appearance that I described (similar to what you describe as well) and might affect the heart as well so it is important to have it diagnosed in time and treated promptly if this is the case.
Hope I have answered your query. Let me know if I can assist you further.
Take care
Regards,
