[User.hkcgw]

Maam is reactive arthritis pain symmetrical or assymetrical?

[User.hkcgw]

[Krishnasiwozj]

Mam i had enterocolitis.. And after 2 weeks i started developing pain in one side of lower back and then my vertebral bones then right knee and left heel and in neck. The pain is present from 2.5 months the doctor ordered mri of whole spine and it is normal... Is it reactive aethritis mam kindly relpy 🙏🥺

[donaatvernieuwe]

Thaks doctor, again very informative. Question: can reactive arthritis evolve to global rheumatic arthritis, if yes, is this common?

[placiduzzu]

Dna. Doctor, I am suspecting my 7 years old daugheter of ReA, with confirmed salmonella and subfebrile + knee swelling a few days (7) after entherocolitis threatment (amoxicilin was prescribed). After 2 days, the knee swelling dissapeared with no remanent pain, but now she started complaining about mild pain in bottocks which may indicate sacroiliitis. I'm confused about migratory arthritis and what defines arthritis after all. Somewhere I read that it arthritis is indicated by swelling or pain for more than 6 weeks in a row for one particular joint.... Could you please clarify this in corelation with ReA? Thanks and salutations from Romania!

[FreeBirdsVisuals]

I'm going on 3 years after a covid infection. Bilateral elbows and right knee and sometimes a few fingers in my right hand. Ive lost all hope. I take alot of prednisone. It flares up several times a month lasting 3 to 7 days if i take steroids. If i dont take sterioids, it is constant pain.
