Question
ANN
05/31/08

why would I have fatigue, chest pains and sore shoulders and hands?

I have been getting boils occasionally. I get rashes too. Lately I feel tired all the time. My shoulders ache and feel warm. I thought I had a fever but it was slight. Mt muscles seem sore when I walk down stairs. After I clean my house I am exhausted. Just the other day my hand seemed stiff but only a little. I went to work and experienced sharp chest pains. It happened twice and both times it went away after a few seconds. What is wrong with me?

Ann, first let me say that anytime you experience chest pain you should seek medical attention immediately.  Now that being said, your symptoms could indicate many different things.  It could be as simple as being dehydrateted or having a virus.  I would suggest that you speak to your primary physician about this.  Make sure you tell him all of your symptoms, and how long you have been having them.  Your doctor should know what to do from there and will probably start out with some blood work.  I know symptoms like this can be scary, but I would not worry until you know more.  You owe it to yourself to get this checked out!  Good luck and best wishes!

have you been diagnosed with RA?  If not see your md to have your RA Factor checked.
