Yes, I feel the same as you do. As a matter of fact, the last couple of days my thumb has felt like it is broken, but I know it is just the chronic pain. I was referred to a rhematoligist who did a lot of tests but everything came back looking ok (except for my SED). So he sent me on my way. I feel like I'm 80 years old but am only 31. And no one wants to help me.
