Hi, I was diagnosted with osteor in January of 2017, I have symptoms and the RA doctor that I see claims that I need to see a Dermatologist for the rashes I get around my joints. The Derm concluded that I also have excema in the legs and forehead. I get joint discomfort in the spine, legs, elbows, hands,knees and forehead, But lately I also get soreness in the ribs and shoulder blades, is this common?

Hi,

Rheumatoid arthritis or fibromyalgia or chronic fatigue syndrome may present like multiple painful tender points with insomnia.

Get treated for eczema, use DMARDs for RA.

Please get it done ANA, ESR, CRP, RA factor and anti-CCP etc. After that, consult your doctor, he will examine and treat you accordingly.

Hope I have answered your query. Let me know if I can assist you further.
