Accepted Answer

Many possibilities: Your pain could be as a result of many different things. A thorough history and physical exam and possibly some laboratory and radiology exams are needed to determine the exact cause. Causes of pain may include: trauma (fracture, sprain, arthritis), infection, metabolic conditions (gout), musculoskeletal or biomechanical abnormality and neurologic conditions (neuropathy).

Question 3

ra for 17 yrs. active person. recently a lot of pain all over joints and bones. can allergy or bone disease or any other cause this?

Accepted Answer

See below: You may be having an exacerbation of your ra- rheumatoid arthritis. Would see your rheumatologist.

Question 4

can autoimmune disease create bone pain, not only joint pain? feels like someone's hitting me with a hammer in my bones randomly follow by dull pain

Accepted Answer

Unusual: I presume that you are not on any statin drug which can cause bone pain. Have joint hypermobility also makes you more prone to get joint problems but not the bone itself. Have your seen an orthopedist or rheumatologist?  I note that you are not on calcium supplement.  Do you have any risk factor for osteoporosis?

Question 5

my dr. x-rayed my feet. "the bone mineralization is good &there are no erosions. there is degenerative disease at both first mtp joints w/ mild hallux valgus. there is degenerative disease w/ joint space narrowing throughout both phalanges." ideas?

Accepted Answer

: All imaging and laboratory results need to be interpreted in the clinical context and the doctor who ordered the tests is usually in the best position to do that. Talk to the doctor who ordered the tests. Having said that, what you described suggests osteoarthritis.    Wish you good health!

Question 6

what autoimmune diseases can cause severe pain in most of a persons bones/muscles/joints? ana was normal, so pcp says not lupus. i need suggestions.

Accepted Answer

Polyarthritis: Several diseases and conditions can cause polyarthritis. I would suggest you make an immediate in-person appointment with a Rheumatologist to evaluate the range of motion of your joints, any joint changes related to a myriad of causes. Don't guess at your problem. Physicians are taught to diagnose based on your medical history, chief complaint, laboratory tests and imaging. Good luck.

5 year history of soaking night sweats, low grade fevers, joint and bone pains, and high wbc. last cbc wbc@30k and neutrophils@25. bone marrow biopsies negative for anything. tested for everything. doc thinks it might be a new disease? any ideas?

Accepted Answer

5 YR SYMPTOMS: THIS MIGHT BE AN AUTO IMMUNE DISEASE - YOU NEED A FULL WORK-UP WITH LABS ETC..

Question 8

what type of doctor treats bone and joint injuries and disorders/?

Accepted Answer

Depends on the cause: Bone or joint injuries are usually treated by orthopedic surgeons, although non-surgical treatments can be done by family physicians, general internists, and physiatrists (physical medicine and rehabilitation specialists.)  if arthritis is involved, especially if it is rheumatoid arthritis, then a rheumatologist will usually treat this disorder.

Question 9

my rheumatologist ordered a emg/nvc. what disorders does this diagnose and does it hurt? pain is in joints n bones like when i got a neupagin shot

Accepted Answer

EMG Test: Renee: Your doctor has ordered electromyography (EMG) and nerve conduction velocity (NCV) testing to evaluate the electrical activity of muscles and nerves. For example, carpal tunnel syndrome (median nerve compromised at the wrist joint) can present in RA and this is often confirmed with EMG / NCV. Also, EMG/NCV is used to assess spine related nerve problems. The test can is mildly uncomfortable.
