Question 1

sore joints all over and swollen hands and feet. ?

Accepted Answer

Acute Rheumatoid: Acute swelling of joints could be a serious problem. You may have an 'auto-immune' disease where you are making antibodies to your own joints (example=rheumatoid arthritis).
Simple blood tests can sort this out. The fastest test is a 'sed. Rate' (&crp) and if elevated highly suggests an auto-immune disease.  I recommend getting to your doctor right away, then you may need a  'rheumatologist'.

Question 2

i recently having small fevers fatigue over a week. i had a head to toe rash. and now i woke up with very swollen hands and feet and sore joints?

Accepted Answer

Need to be seen: Your symptoms may be related to an infection or possibly an autoimmune process. There are several viral infections that can give you the symptoms you describe and lab work can confirm if this it the case. For the majority the only intervention is time and controlling symptoms such as fever and pain. You want to limit your exposure to others until you are seen by a medical provider.

Question 3

swollen tounge, floating stools, slightly swollen hands and feet, occasional joint pains...what do theses symptoms mean?

Accepted Answer

Inflammation: Swollen tongue, hands and feet could be angioedema--all the symptoms you name could come from a food allergy, and that is one thing you would want to rule out before looking for more chronic and insidious diseases, because the treatment is so straightforward--don't eat the food. There are many other possible causes, however. Starting with an allergist would be a logical choice, though.

Question 4

what causes swollen hands, feet, and ankles? not reduced with diuretic only prednisone. swelling inbetween finger joints not the joints themselves.

Accepted Answer

Inflammation: Sounds like inflammation. Must search for cause. Rule out food sensitivity. About 10 percent of population can be sensitive to nightshades, about 30-40 percent can be sensitive to gluten and casein. Other more common food sensitivities include soy, corn, beef, etc. Consider food elimination for at least 2-3 months. Leigh wagner, rd is a good dietitian who can help by phone: 913-588-6208.
