my doctor is testing me for RA and lupus, i should get the results back wednesday.


symptoms are:
achy arms and lower legs [off and on,more on left side]
achy joints
achy hands and feet
fatigue
and random stomach problems and tension headaches.

my question is, that more than just my joints hurt. it seems like the bone itself hurts alot.

thanks

There are so many diseases that have similar symptoms. Diseases like Ra can be very difficult to diagnose because people can have them and not have the lab to match. Is this doctor a rheumatologist? If at all possible, I would try to get a referral or an appointment with a rheumatologist who wll run lots of tests besides the RA factor and ANA(for Lupus)
