Swelling in the joints can put pressure on different nerves. You would need a nerve conduction test to find out for sure. I just had the test on Monday. It shows a pinched nerve in my left elbow and I also a pinched nerve in my left shoulder. I also have neuropathy in my feet. Worth checking into.
Sounds like Peripheral Neuropathy
Thank you, Janice. I mainly felt it in my left foot, which is the worst with RA, according to x-rays and an MRI. I did contact my Rheumy, and will probably get the beloved tapering Prednisone. I know this RA can raise havoc on our bodies, that's for sure. Have a good day.
