Going to 'try' and get an Emergency appointment as I'm off work. Right hand is bad today (too much typing?) and the Nurofen Plus etc isn't helping much. Wish me luck please :0) xx

Good luck Bec:)) If it's arthritis, make sure you have warm furry slippers on when it's the least bit cold. Cold feet are a real no no. Now I'm really off to bed:)) Night night (((hug))) Chrissie xx

Thanks Chrissie and Rosy. I'm beginning to wonder whether it's stress-related? Just hope the Doc is sympathetic and understanding. xx

Bec...... my hubby has been on Methotrexate for his arthritis for some time now and it is keeping him pain free (fingers crossed) it stays that way. over the years the doc has tried lots of different medication, this seems to be better than anything else. Sunny R

Bec Hopefully it is something 'simple' like Carpel Tunnel syndrome. I had that and didn't realise it for years....Well we girls have a high pain threshhold :) .....Only went to the Docs when I started getting pain up to my elbow. Turned out I had a trapped ulna nerve and carpel tunnel. One small op and it was sorted! Good luck Chris

Doctor wants me to go for blood tests again. Apparently last time I had blood tests (2 years ago) my ESR was higher than it should be. He wouldn't diagnose anything specific but he did say the symptoms, my ESR count and my age/gender could indicate it's rheumatoid arthritis. Thanks for your support everyone xx
