Also have sore throat, headache, glands in groin & neck is bothering me. As of sat & sunday am is starting to go to my ribs & ribcage, not pleurisy pain which I get all the time on top of this that is going on. My veins hurt like I have a IV or had a bad IV done, now sunday woke up with big red circle on my left arm with appeared to look like a pimple thing in middle 50cent piece size, as of yesterday I have a red streak going up into my armpit & today it is worse & have red bumps breaking out in my armpit, the streak looks inflamed & puffy. I have no insurance & was hoping I could shake this, but something is going on & it is lasting too long. I know this is long & that I have a lot of problems but can you help?
Brief Answer:
Needs evaluation.
Detailed Answer:
Dear Madam,
Thank you for posting your query on HCM.
Well looking into your query I will like to tell you that, whatever symptoms you are giving resemble more of infection rather than arthritis. But since so many issues are there, narrowing down on one will be too difficult without investigations. Such things happen in viral fever, lymes disease etc . I have seen the skin lesion from the pics you have uploaded, seems non specific to me at present . Since you have only pains in joints rather than swelling arthritis is unlikely .
Does anybody in your family also have similar issues. Also please attach your blood reports if you have so that we can have a better understanding and guide you further .
Take care.
