Suggest Treatment For Muscle Pain And Rashes On Chest
I have an RF factor of 1100 on my last test. I was diagnosed with RA in 2011. I find this an isue in that I show no other signs of RA other than the high test results. However I have been suffering from intense pain and swelling that will move from muscle to muscle area sometimes in the matter of minutes. Skin will flush bright red, swell lose all use of the muscles then gone . As of late I am losing feeling and function in my extremities. I will also lose my voice and the ability to swallow sometimes for days then some for only hours or minutes. MRI of the brain shows stable white matter disease , cervical MRI shows large disc protrusion at C4-C5 and at C5-C6 . No pain in the neck to accompany this also have a rash that appears on my back chest and arms that does not itch and comes and go frequently. Any suggestions?
RA factor can be raised n some other conditions also I would suggest anti-CCP test for confirmation of rheumatoid.You may take lyrical 75mg capsules twice a day and vicodin once a day.If Rheumatoid confirms from test then consult a rheumatologist who may begin methotrexate 7.5 mg and hydroxychloroquine 250 mg. for neck use cervical collar/brace and avoid jerks. Do isometric neck exercises under a physical therapist for rashes take allegra tab 120 mg once a day
