Painful aching joints
I am waiting to be referred to a rheumatologist, I have a really painful ache in my left shoulder elbow hand and fingers and have been off work for 2 days. I am very fatigued too and have taken painkillers advised by the doctor yesterday but it seems to be getting worse. Is there anything I can do?
