Symptoms
My husband and I have both started suffering sever and debilitating elbow pain a few months ago. It comes and goes. I think it is Gout or something similar. He thinks he has strained his elbows. It’s both for him and only my left elbow. I think it’s a strange coincidence but stranger things have happened. We are 41 and 42. We have three grown daughters and then decided to have more kids (what were we thinking? lol) and so now we have two little boys ages 3.5 years and 8 months. We both enjoyed excellent health until this second go round of children. Now we are stressed, exhausted, we both need to lose weight, and we have this pain. Along with my elbow pain yesterday my feet really hurt. It felt like my arches were just giving out. I know losing weight would help but I can’t help to think there is more to it than that. My husband hasn’t doctored but I have. I have been tested for rheumatoid arthritis, lupus, pcos, hormone problems, thyroid, etc. The tests all came back fine except the one saying my thyroid antibodies was slightly high. All the doctors think this is in my head. Uh huh. One even had the nerve to tell me I had an extreme case of PMS! LOL!
