Swollen Hands, Neck Pain, Bumpy Itchy Skin. Having Fibro, Arthritis In Back, Nerve Damage. Reason?
I have fibro, arthritis in my back, degenerative disc disease, nerve damage in leg. My pain has increased dramatically over the past few days, I think due to weather. My hands are swollen and now my neck hurts so bad i dont want to move it. I noticed a small patch of dry bumpy itchy skin at the bottom of my spine what is this?

Hi,
It seems that you are having severe osteoartheritis changes in your spine and other joints giving rise to this problem.
Consult orthopedic surgeon and get examined.
Physiotherapy will be much helpful.
A patch of dry and bumpy on back might be developing bed sore due to restriction of movements resulting bed ridden.
Change your position frequently to stop forming bed sores.
Take calcium, vitamin A and D supplements.
Ok and take care.
