I supposed I should get a ra blood test, my grandma had it. Im scared, I dont know how I would deal with another issue, ya know?

nothing major has changed in my life, I tried advil, aleve and some voltarin pain gel, the gel works better than the pills, am and pm the worst, midday not bad.

My kindered friend in the low back and pelvic pain :)
Last night mine was so bad i was bedbound. I could not even go down our stairs to get cooler. The foot pain i too have comes from my hip pain. I was told i have sacrioilitis and the good ol plantar fascitis.
When my pain gets bad i have been finding in make my knees sore to so much that i cannot bend them. I too am scared but i want you to know that i am here for you. Hugs. Debbie
