First off I’m 18 and I have really mild plaque psoriasis and I think I may be developing psoriatic arthritis eventually as well due to joint inflammation and pain I have occasionally. I rarely get psoriasis anywhere besides inside my ears though because of the climate I’m in right now.
Two days ago I was out shopping when a spot on my wrist began to itch. I saw no bumps of any sort to indicate that it was a bug bite but after I continued scratching it, it started to look like it might be just a bug bite as it started to have a bump. I got another one later that night on my finger but this one had no bump and it still doesn’t. It’s just a little swollen, red, and extremely itchy. Both of them have gotten unbearably itchy. If I don’t touch them for a while it goes away but just the slightest touch brings it back. Scratching it at all makes it so much worse and makes it swell more and burn. I got another one on my leg and a small one (that looks more like a bug bite) on my arm as well that day. But all at different times and not always when I was in the same place which makes it hard for me to believe that they’re all really itchy bug bites. I thought it might be related to my psoriasis but they’re not usually on joints. (not that my psoriasis is always on joints) I suppose it’s possible that it’d be bed bugs or something but I have trouble believing that one of them followed me to the mall all day before biting me on the wrist. lol I keep expecting them to get better but they only show signs of getting worse. It’s probably not as big of a deal as I’m acting like it is but I just wanted to be sure that it wasn’t a sign of any other psoriasis related condition or anything. Oh and anti itch cream does absolutely nothing.

I know that I spelled that wrong, but the point is that I am tired all the time. I have a bone disease in my knee, arthritis in my low back, a broken tail bone, my stomach muscles do not work due to a truly tough pregnancy with twins and I am exhausted all the time. I need some help for energy.
I should note that my twins are 9 now and I am still exhausted. I cannot seem to get any energy.
Does anyone know about treatment of fibro? My doctor gave me pain meds, but I can’t take them due to exhaustion. I can deal with the pain, not the exhaustion.

2 years ago I had knee replacement surgery on both of my knees.
I am in alot of pain and my doctors call it nerve damage and arthritis.
Pills do not work. I would like to try something else and someone recomended cold lasser or a physcial therapist that comes to the house. "Both cost per session

I found a big bump on the back of my knee and it hurts to walk now. Ive had this pain for about two weeks now. Also, Arthritis is genetic in my family, my mother has it and her mother (my grandmother) has arthritis as well. So is it possible I can have arthritis at 16?

I kept on popping my fingers, knees, and toes and now I’ve got arthritis and I’m wondering if a chiropractor could make them straight?

I am a candidate for total knee replacement due to arthritis. I have heard conflicting information regarding use of the replacement joint. Some people say they can never kneel again, but my aunt, who’s in her 80’s, kneels to garden. Some say they’ve lost lateral movement. If you’ve had the surgery, would you please offer your perspective? And if you’re an older woman, how long did it take you to resume your normal routine, like lifting grandkids and standing in the kitchen prepping meals? Thanks for the help.

whenever i bend my knees, there is a pain that can only be described as my kneecap trying to escape from my legs! both knees are like this, and while sometimes it isn’t horrible, sometimes it is, and it is never completely gone. i’m only 19 so i doubt it is arthritis, but what do I know? also, i usually run 25 miles a week, but for about a month i’ve stopped, so it is unrelated to exercise. how can i make the pain go away?
