Red, hot and sometimes swollen joints worse when stressed? why would stress make a difference?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
Try to injoy life: It is not uncommon for patients to report that their joint pain becomes exacerbated during stressful times. There are many known, and probably many to be discovered, different reasons for this.Glucocorticoids are effective immunosuppressive and anti-inflammatory agents got decreased in stress. Good luck.
