Friend has bone pain

[prettyj]

I am posting this on behalf of a friend of mine. I thought maybe the vast knowledge between all of us could maybe pin-point something. For the past two months, she has been having pain in her bones and joints. It started with her feet really bad in the morning, and has now progressed to her hands, hips, ribs and sternum. She said it is much worse in the morning. She has had blood work and x-rays done, but will not know for a couple of weeks. It is getting worse every day. The doctor put her on anti-inflammatory pills which seem to help. You can actually see how puffy her feet and hands are around her joints, and she has difficulty opening doors now, or carrying dishes and needs to walk on the sides of her feet in the a.m. when first moving around. Rheumatoid arthritis has been the most popular theory, just concerned at how fast this has taken over her body. She used to be very active, running everyday and lifting weights. She takes great care of her body, eats right etc. I would love feedback from anybody who has any information for her. Thanks
