Sometimes, I would estimate maybe 4-6 times a year, I get a really intense pain in my left arm. It runs from my shoulder to my hand, and its a dull, deep pain. It feels like its in my bones. It usually occurs after being exposed to cold weather.I’m a 23 year old female, average height and weight. I’m wondering if this could be arthritis?

My friend had a boyfriend 3 years ago. At that time, 3 years ago, her boyfriend had symmetrical joint pain and stiffness and swelling. 3 years later she has reactive arthritis? Is it possible that she may have STD such as Chlamydia? Is it possible that Chlamydia to trigger reactive arthritis 3 years after the infection of chlamydia? CAN Chlamydia infection trigger reactive arthritis 3 years after infection?

I am struggling to come up with another answer. We see a specialist on Monday, but in the meantime I am beside myself. My 19 month old baby girl has a VERY inflamed knee and is having trouble walking, she also has an unexplainable butterfly pattern rash on her face. All symptoms point to Lupus or Juvenile Arthritis, but PLEASE help ease my mind by coming up with something else it could be.

My young son is on Enbrel for arthritis. His uncle had psoriatic arthritis also and had been on Enbrel for 3 years, then had cancer 3 months ago. He died last week from it. His doctors thought Enbrel caused the cancer. We’re looking for doctors to give alternative treatment without Enbrel.
