Suggest Treatment For Stiffness In The Joints And Immobility For About A Week
My husband has had migrating pain with stiffness and immobility for almost a week. It started in his fingers, then moved to his hand and wrists then to his shoulder and then to his knees. He is weak and ill feeling but has no fever. Today when I was helping with his shower I noticed a large bulls eye shaped dark red spot on his buttocks and its center is not bruised but it feels like a knot. His doc can t see him till tomorrow. We took a vacation to Arizona 2 weeks ago, we live in XXXX state.

Hi,
It seems to be a feature of rheumatoid arthritis, do you have any blood tests including anti-CCP, RA factor, CRP? These tests are required to guide you properly.
Hope I have answered your query. Let me know if I can assist you further.
