Re: 10 Weeks After Removal

Apple Blossom: I'm so sorry that your joint pain hasn't subsided and that you've tested positive for RA. Please let me know about your Lupus test too. How sure are they that you have RA? Do you recall any joint problems at all before the Mirena? How long did you have the Mirena? Our symptoms sound very similar. I just had it removed 10 days ago. I wish I could say that my joint pain is gone. I was tested for RA and Lupus and those came back negative. I can't really get a dr. to explain why I'm having pain in some of my fingers. It's really frustrating, isn't it? Plus, I'm showing hypothyroid. Did they test your thyroid too? Apparently hypothyroid can affect your joints. Good luck and keep me posted.
