[QUOTE="Nancy, post: 540290, member: 59"] Oh I have bilateral joint pain all right. My right foot us,worse than ny left but there us no doubt i will need the left joint replaced within the year. Both my right and left thumbs and first fingers are affected as are both wrists and both shoulders. What made me thunk about ra was the fact that it involved both sides of my body the same way. I have not had the blood test yet and that is what I'm doing next but I have joint pain in my entire body and have developed nodules on my toes and fingers. This did not happen suddenly. I've had pain for years. When the Dr saw my xray he said my joint was shot. Given the fact that I am having severe pain in other joints in sure they are too. My parents both have/had bad arthritis for years. Neither ever were tested to determine which kind. But from what I read my symptoms should like RA. I have taken Advil every day for years. I have to pay for the surgery out if Pocket because we have $10,000 deductible per person so I have to be careful how many doctors I involve right now. In fact the woman in charge of finances at the doctors office sd I was the highest deductible she's ever seen. We had quite a talk about affordable health care. Thanks for the info. I will be checking into the blood test asap. Nancy [/QUOTE]
