Hi, all, I have not been officially diagnosed with PSA, but my symptoms sound like they are painting a picture of it. I have a doctor appointment later today to go see be my labs (which all came back normal!) but in the meantime, I was wondering…

I had agonizing pain in my hand that lasted about 48 hours. My hand was like a claw and could not close or open and it felt like it was in a vice grip. It was so incredibly painful. I also had some milder pain in my elbow and shoulder.

Today the pain is much better, though still there. However, the rest of my body now feels like I have the flu. I even have a very low-grade temp of 99.1. My body is aching from head to toe.

• Does this sound like PsA?
• Does this happen to anyone else?

Thanks!
