Painful

WARNING!!!! I AM ABOUT TO COMPLAIN!

Okay, you are still reading, so consider yourself warned! I am in pain. I had a somewhat rough night last night with pain in the shoulders and wrists, specifically, but I also have some pain in my knees and ankles. Notice these are all joints in the body. When researching Fifth Disease, I had remembered reading that joint pain could occur. I got online again this morning and found that it occurs mostly in adult women and will probably last between 1 and 3 weeks. The good news is that rarely does permanent joint damage occur. That is good news. But I've got to tell you, it is very painful. I could not believe how difficult it was just to pick up my coffee mug this morning. I've been taking some ibuprofin, but will have to be careful about what I take because I am allergic to the pain relievers that fall into the nsaid category. I have a brand new appreciation for my friends and relatives who suffer from arthritis. At least I know that my pain should go away within a month!
