[QUOTE="exhausted, post: 548549, member: 11001"] I have a rare form of RA called Pallindromic RA. It all started in a knee with the most horrible, burning pain in my life-lasting a few days usually. This form of RA migrates from one side of the body to another and usually in the large joints. It started slowly in the right knee and every few weeks it hit another joint. Over 80% of the people with this form develop the more traditional RA with continued large joint involvement. I have been diagnosed for over 5 years. My blood tests are always positive for RA, however some people with the disease do not have positive RA factor. There is an online society where they give good info. 2 weeks ago-I started an episode but it just would not go away(I usually feel it come and begin my medicatios to keep the pain ad occational swelling manageable). I went in last week and found out I tore the meniscus (spelling?) in my knee and surgery was recommended. The pain is worse some days than others. I cannot bend and sit back on my knee anymore. The doctor told me it probably would get better for awhile and then flair again until surgery. I dont know but I would have it checked out. Sharp pain is never good. [/QUOTE]
