Ok people! I posted a title a few days ago about knuckle pain swelling and lower back pain. Well people i finally went to see my doctor. Now before you read this post go back and read my previous post on this subject.
I had finally had enough of the pain it was literally debilitating at this point (couldn't even pick up a cup of coffee).
Now this is pretty serious everyone needs to hear this if they have or have ever had these problems. My primary care physician is a internal medicine doctor she has been treating me for about 2 1/2 years. After her knowing me and my past injury records. I told her what my symptoms were and first diagnosis she gives me is "Arthritic flair" All my previous injuries sudden intake of medications and stress had caused a chemical imbalance in my body resulting in whats called a "Arthritic pain flair" and the results can affect one our all your body's joints. Extremely painful people. My doctor prescribed me prednisone 20mg a day for 6 days and if symptoms are still aggravating continue for another 6 days. Funny thing is my old neurologists used to prescribe prednisone for my cervical spine inflammation and thoracic outlet syndrome. Prednisone always seemed to help cure or fix my swelling and pain. So I started my prednisone treatment today now let's see if this works!
