Reactive arthritis
in Health ·
Enterococcus faecalis definitely didn't die off even after four rounds of Ninur therapy (even though it’s sensitive to Ninur). Now what??? Does anyone know a killer infectious disease specialist near Mayo Clinic??? I gotta do something before this turns totally chronic and who knows what else...
wiredotter12, man, I am so sorry that bacteria is sticking to you like glue.
My own experiences ("unfortunately" 😁) with the Mayo Clinic have been awesome. Honestly, I don't think you can go wrong going to them.
Anyway, I'm super interested in your case because I started getting similar symptoms about 6 weeks ago. I wanna jump on this ASAP so it doesn't get as bad as yours.
It all kicked off with pain and burning in my right wrist. I figured it was just bad ergonomics from working at my computer too much, so I tried to take it easy.
After a week, the exact same thing started happening in my left wrist.
Two weeks in, I hit up my GP. Their advice? Just fix your desk setup at work.
After 10 days of being super careful and trying to use only my left hand, I went back to the doctor since my right wrist wasn't getting any better. In fact, the left one just got worse.
Got X-rays of my wrists, a CBC, CRP, and ESR. Everything came back fine. That was a week ago.
Then the burning during urination started, along with aching in my elbows and knees.
Got prescribed Voltaren 3 x1 daily and a diagnosis that it’s most likely reactive arthritis.
They sent me to get a urinalysis. Currently waiting on the results.
By the way, two years ago I tested positive for chlamydia in a urethral swab, but that was successfully cleared up.
