Hi, I am getting very bad pain in my legs and arms. It started in my legs and I have red patches all over my legs that come and go. The pain gets worse at night and after periods of sitting or lying. The pain can get so bad in my hands that I can t hold anything. My shoulder is hurting badly and also my knee . I am 26. This has been happening for about 4 weeks. I have had blood tests and a chest X-ray but I am waiting for the results. The pain is so bad tonight that it making me cry. What could be causing this?

one must wait for blood reports. there are many types of arthritis,and causes for muscle and joint pain. the diagnosis is dependent on lab reports and on clinical examination by a rheumatologist.All symptoms are treatable after diagnosis.I am sure you are prescribed pain relievers already.you may get back to me for any query with your reports. It will be unnecessary to speculate as it adds to worries.objectively treatment is possible
