What Is The Treatment For Frequent Urination?
My liver test showed slightly raised levels as well as my ANA came back at 1.40, I have extreme exhaustion everyday starting around 2 pm. I have for years enjoyed running and until November 2013 I was running 4 - 6 miles a day. Then suddenly my hips started hurting and my joints ached. I am currently trying to start exercising and have slowly crept up to now 1 mile a day, however my lower legs ache so bad I have to stop. I suffer from lower left abdomen twitching and 1 - 3 moderate sharp or dull pains. I have an ongoing problem with frequent urination, at least once a day I will urinate urgently and then 5 minutes later have to go again. Nearing the end of the day is when my joint pain and frequent urination is worst (always when I wake up I feel fine- weird.) I suffer from low fevers every now and again.
I see a rheumatologist today and was wondering what you guys think?
