Heavy joint pain on hand and leg
Having joint and nerve pain since last two months. Loss of sensation at fore hand. I have been treated for hansen before ten years. Took MDT for two years and got cured. Since last month, I am having similar symptoms which i had earlier. Having severe joint pains at knee and below on both the hands and legs. I went to the dermatologist, who treated me. He told, there is no relapse or reinfection and to consult a rheumatologist. I met a rheumatologist, He checked and confirmed me that. There is not arthritis and RA factor is within the limit. He told it is fibromylgia and gave me tryptomer 10 mg for one month. Even after that, my pain is not reduced. Still, I feel that I am again infected with Hansen as the symptoms are similar. I need a consultation with Dermatologist, who can confirm this.

Are there any new patches with loss of sensation or increase in anesthesia than the previous episode? Are u suffering from joint pain only or is there associated fever? These are a few points which we take into consideration before investigating for relapse/reinfection.
