Strange Pains

A few days ago my wife started noticing a sharp pain in her right foot on the side of her heel. At first she thought she might have stepped on something but it didn’t appear to be the case.

The pain spread up her entire right side, and is a kind of stiff pain, like an arthritis kind of pain, according to her.

She’s taking some extra muscle relaxers but she’s had a hard time moving around and getting up and down the stairs.

She’s had these symptoms before and they tend to go away in a week or so.

Has anyone else had this happen?

  1. Yep. Last year I had an arthritic flare that started just like that. It was on the outside of my right foot and it worked it’s way upward. I remember it vividly because of how it started.

  3. I’m sorry to say that I had the same experience with my fingers prior to my diagnosis of Lupus. If she hasn’t been diagnosed she should definitely be tested ASAP. Not to frighten you, but unmedicated Lupus can be very dangerous.
    Good luck.

  4. Ally: She was diagnosed when she was a teenager. It’s just been much more severe in the last six years or so. Thank you for your thoughts.
