Hello,
From your report, I can think of possible lupus or any other rheumatoid flare up.
Should consult immediately with a rheumatologist cannot wait until July.
Go to ER if cannot manage to get an immediate appointment.
Hope I have answered your query. Let me know if I can assist you further.
Regards,
Dr. Albana Sejdini, General & Family Physician
