Rhumetoid arthritis symptoms and conditions

I truly think my rheumatoid arthritis was the result of taking lipitor. Didn't have any symptoms before taking Lipitor but while on it woke up one day and could barely walk. Doctor immediately took me off of it and I saw significant improvement but still have the disease and its painful effects

In Nov I was diagnosed with rhumetoid arthritis, and was given Mobic. I started taking 7.5 mil once a day, then was given samples (when I ran out) of 15 mil. This past week, I have started to have pain in my knees.....I am wondering if this is a side effect of the Mobic. Has anyone else experienced something like this? I also started feeling very anxious about things.

I was given Levaquin for a upper respiratory infection. The first day I had diarrhea from 12:30 until 10:00 that night. I just assumed it was part of what was going on with me. My husband and I are remodeling a house, and I having carpell tunnel so I assumed my hands hurting was from the hammering and working at the house. However, it was a different hurt. It hurt in the joints and all the way to the bone. Then it moved up my arms, my elbows hurt terribly. My shoulders and in-between my shoulder blades are painful. I have been taking Levaquin for at least 10 days now, but no more. I have been getting up in the morning only to walk like my grandmother. My ankles hurt so very bad. I have cried for 2 days now worrying if I have rhumetoid arthritis, or worse. My mother died of cancer. She had breast cancer, and then was cancer free for two years. In the following winter, her legs and bones hurt. She also had arthritis (her father had rhemetoid arthritis) so we assumed that's what it was. It was cancer in the bones. She was diagnosed in January and died in April of that year. I have been so afraid, scared and really was terrified of finding out what was wrong. I also started drinking Mountain Dews because I had no energy and felt so bad. Then when my hands started swelling I started taking motrin. Now I have learned from some of you on here that that's exactly what I shouldn't have done. I am so thankful for all of you sharing and knowing now that I'm not alone or a whiner. I'll pray for all of you and I will do my part to try to get this medicine off the market.
