Default Anyone recognise this pain?

My docs don't understand what I mean. I have RA and raynouds and cryoglobulinemea (?) with more diseases but pain is probably caused by one of those.

It is a pain, that is not centered like my RA pain. I know it's not musclepain or jointpain. It is a pain that starts in my elbow and "lingers" or "nags on" to my hands. I call it pain in my veins, though this is not possible they told me.
You know the feeling of the needle when they take your blood? It's that feeling, but not on one place, but from elbow to hands. And it's a pain that is nagging and kind of nausiating. It is not a burning or sharp pain.
It's getting worse when it's coldor when I use my hands "too much".

Does someone recognise this, because my docs say, I dont know what you mean.

Have you been tested for ulnar nerve problems? That sounds like a possibility. When I found out I had a badly compressed ulnar nerve, I just about flipped out. Not another problem?!?!?!? I eventually had the decompression surgery and it was a piece of cake compared to the spinal surgeries. I had it done (out patient) on Tuesday and made a two hour trip up to spend Thanksgiving with my daughter and new grandchild on Thursday. I got to sit back in a rocking chair, like a queen, and rock my baby. What a glorious day. Hang in there and don't stop until you have an answer. IF you haven't been tested for an ulnar problem, ask your primary doc or pain doc to have you tested. Best wishes.
