I actually got covid last week, and i've just gotten over it. but 2 days ago barely a week after covid, my arm began to feel excruciatingly painful, specifically my wrist, and my elbow. and i've been taking ibuprofen to manage it. i'm going to see my doctor on monday and hopefully i'll be able to get an anti-inflammatory shot to keep the swelling in my joint down. just a quick question for you, has it gotten any better?

Dna. Doctor, I am suspecting my 7 years old daugheter of ReA, with confirmed salmonella and subfebrile + knee swelling a few days (7) after entherocolitis threatment (amoxicilin was prescribed). After 2 days, the knee swelling dissapeared with no remanent pain, but now she started complaining about mild pain in bottocks which may indicate sacroiliitis. I'm confused about migratory arthritis and what defines arthritis after all. Somewhere I read that it arthritis is indicated by swelling or pain for more than 6 weeks in a row for one particular joint.... Could you please clarify this in corelation with ReA? Thanks and salutations from Romania!

You described it to a T. I had a terrible GI infection after a trip to Panama that resolved after a week or so with an antibiotic. A couple weeks later, the balls of my feet and tops of feet and toes started swelling. Then the left knee became so swollen it had to be aspirated and I had a steroid injection into the joint. Also swelling in the hip, SI and right wrist. An initial course of prednisone was prescribed but during the taper down phase after a week things flared up again. I could barely walk for 5 weeks. The back and foot and knee pain was so bad I had to crawl sometimes. Worst experience of my life. Lost over 30 pounds. Was diagnosed with ReA by a rheumatologist at the Mayo Clinic who has been great. Found out I’m HLA-B27 +. Negative for RF. Started Humira about two months ago and have seen big improvements. Now taking only 2.5 mg of prednisone daily compared to 30. Am able to exercise (swim and bike and some yoga and weights) longer and without the level of joint pain as before. Fatigue has improved quite a bit. Still have tendinitis and/or Enthesitis in the feet and knees, but joint swelling has gone away almost completely with some random post exercise hip or SI pain. Hoping to be able to get off the Humira after 6 months or so and hope this ReA is self limiting and goes away eventually. Think I’m on the right track?

Reactive arthritis is commonly transmitted sexually, so it could be that your rapist had this too. I am truly sorry for what happened to you, may God give you the strength to recover from this.
