I was just reading the "toe fusion" post and that prompted me to ask about a couple of other odd aches and pains.
I have a lot of trouble with what feels like the muscles in my upper arms. They ache terribly. Sometimes it hurts to the point that I can't use my arm at all. It feels like what I would expect tendonitis (sp?) to feel like but I don't know for sure as I have never had tendonitits.
Also, I have a lot of problems with mouth sores. They always pop up around the same time that one of my lymph nodes under my tounge swells up and hurts. It usually lasts a few days and then goes away.
One more - My gums ache sometimes and it feels like someone is trying to pull my teeth out. It only lasts a short while but it's awful. It happens 5 - 6 times a year so I'm use to it but I definately don't understand it!
I have asked the docs about these problems but everyone seems to shrug it off as "in my head" or "a fluke thing". I hate to sound whiney but these issues cause me concern. If anyone can give me info or atleast validate that I am not alone in these experiences I would love to hear from you!
