i am 19 years old, All of the sudden, beginning Jan of 2016, i have flareups of bilateral joint pain, in the fingers, knees, wrists, ankles, shoulders and neck. I am treated with steroids which reduce the inflammation, I also have nodules on my vocal cords. No firm diagnosis yet, I also experienced bruising on my elbow, knees and buttocks. The doctor could not explain the bruises or the nodules on my vocal cords. Are these symptoms related to the inflammatory arthritis I have been given as a diagnosis?
