Hi
For about a year now I feel like Ive been run over when i wake up.
All my joints feel swollen, from my toes to my fingers, I have backache, neckache, sore muscles my back cracks with movement.
I have a lot of headaches, but had a normal CT scan.
If I sit down and relax, it ll starts over again.
My CRP was 20 a year ago and now it is 9. It should be under 5.
Ive had blood tests for autoimmune problems - negative.
I must say, the lower my CRP is getting - the more my body hurts.
Now for the freaking out part. I spoke to my friend yesterday and she told me her friend has terminal cancer. She had backache that didnt get better, went for physio, didnt improve. Went for a scan and she has breast cancer that has spread to her bones and she now has terminal cancer.
My daughter went for a physio appointment yesterday and I cheekily asked the lady about my aches - she told me to ask to be referred to a rheumatologist. I have an appointment with my GP next week but feel I will be blown off as a hypercondriac. I always tell the GP I recognise I have severe health anxiety but feel they don't believe my symptoms.
What should I do if he wont refer me?
