1st-I was at the doctors office like the doctor at the Exigent Clinic suggested and it worked. They couldn't see me yesterday however they gave me an appointment for Fri.. I kept calling last week and couldn't get an answer, I drove an hour to get there and put myself in front of them and my appt. got moved up more than 6 weeks. Kuddos to the doctor at the clinic.
2nd-Does anyone get a cold sensation like water dropped on them. Today it has happened to my knees and yesterday it happened to my feet and knees. What does it mean? It doesn't really hurt it's just wierd.
Thanks for any feedback. TW

The best I can say is that when the joints start flaring up the tendons and muscles get inflamed and irritated so they are going to do some funky things. I feel like my knees are always cold, warm and sunny or not, just plain freekin cold. It's very weird.

Sometimes it feels like cold water is being dribbled on my feet. Weird.

Yes I too have the icy cold sensation, but in my neck/skull area, where the worst of my RA is, and I know exactly how you feel. be careful, that the RA is not starting nerve damage, as I was told by the Neurosergeon who sent me to have ultrasound done on my caratid arteries, one thing led to another, so be aware that you should not let this go.

I get the sensation of water running down my leg often. For me it is nerve damage from a bad back. Nothing is quite as fun as having to check to make sure you have not peeed your pants while standing infront of a large group giving a talk. Good times! The fun stuff RA can do. I would say tell your doctor. It could be nothing but it also could be a nerve problem.
