What months are usually harsher? For the last 6 months I have been awful!
Everything aches(of course)..
But my collar bones appear to big alot bigger, and the pain is just 😤😩 (where I have to cock my head to the side and hold the other side) kind of pain.

The swelling does go down slightly, but only for a few days.

I've also been getting the big knots in my groins now...Very uncomfortable😓

😅Anyone else?

Yas! In the past two.month i have had severe pain in the same areas. I Showed the doc because i didn't know there was a joint there. Apparently there is. It was so intense to even touch it lightly on the skin and when you bend down major pain. Fixed with more steroids and inprofen. Good luck. Hugs

I have pain all over and stiffness with inflammation usually when it rains, gets humid or cold outside. I usually feel so much better when there’s a dry heat. I can tell the difference and it feels so wonderful. To bad it doesn’t last to long. I live in Mn so the weather changes daily. Hope it gets better for you. 😃

Are you in a cold weather area? I think it’s absolutely seasonal. Cold weather or changes in barometric pressure make me feel worse every time.

This is all new to me the past years has been a nightmare. It started with Bathroom issues for a month - DX Hashmimotos then Blocked Carotids and two open neck surgeries ( neck still numb) after than I felt awful - lots pains in my hands feet - dr sent to Rheum. She is wonderful but I have head several issues with my back hips knees elbows and terrible muscle aches and spasms in my upper and lower back. - Watch the steroids they gave me those 4 times. But I am also Type 2 so now on insulin. my ra doc also thinks I have Fibro in addition to seropositive RA - I have wondered about lupus too.. they all seemingly overlap it seems. Prayers. We shall see if summer is better. hopefully
