I am 46 years old femaIe, I woke up with bilateral knee & ankle joint pain in Feb 2016 pain occurred overnight). All my labs have been within normal limits. Pain improved but did not go away after high dose prednisone taper in March 2016. Since then I have joint pain all over, tired all the time & I get sharp pains randomly all over for few seconds each time. I have been seeing a rheumatologist to threat pain but nothing is working & no diagnosis yet.
Hello, Your symptoms seem to be related to rheumatoid arthritis. I suggest doing some examinations to confirm the diagnosis. I recommend doing rheumatoid factor level, ESR level and a complete blood count. Meanwhile, I suggest using anti-inflammatory medications such as Ibuprofen to relieve the symptoms. I also recommend stretching exercises for relief. Hope my answer was helpful. If you have further queries feel free to contact me again.
