Ohhh Amberlyne!
I am 72 but your situation is so similar to mine although I don’t have diabetes, I hace trigeminal neuralgia for which I have a pain pump that ends almost in my brain so it does not help all the other symptoms. The funny ( or sad ) part is that just like you my rheumatologist who diagnosed me with Rheumatoid arthritis four years ago, is now doubting and sends me to the neurologist who confirmed arschnoiditis and TN and CRPS and now he says I have Small fiber neuropathy and Raynaud’s so now he sends me back to rheumatologist
I have poliarthralgia and on and off my my veins in hands or feet swell up, hurt a lot, then burst in seconds and I get a bruise. It happens in fingers, toes and in the sole of my feet. Also anyone with little painful ball under fingers or toes ? And the move under the skin and they hurt a lot. Anyone ?
I also have pelvic floor dysfunction
But I am a grandma of four and although I use a wheelchair and cannot cook I can still play and read stories. But I can be very frustrated at times
My new thing are the small balls under small joints
Anyone?
Thanks a million for reading this to all who do!
