Or.....it could be a.... wildebeast? Nah!!! Yeah, I'm with Lene. I'm no expert of course but RA or no it sure the heck sounds like SOMETHING is going on. I do however understand the fear of becoming the "hypochondriac". But ja' know? Gotta give props to the benefits of complaining! My RA's been caught way the heck early cuz dang it, something wasn't right and I refused to let it go! So yeah, whatever you do DON'T let it go! At the same time DO share your concerns with the rheumy. I have been known to be a bit *cough* tenacious from time to time, but the way I see it? I'm not the dullest crayon in the box and if it's not making sense to me then someone really needs to take the time to 'splain it better.
Oh, and I've yet to visit my rheumy without prefacing a complaint with "I hope I'm not being just a total hypochondriac but....." So, I'm thinking you're probably good!
