I am 48 years old and have always been in good health but in the passed year I developed a silvery, flaky and itchy rash to my left abdominal region along with tremendous joint pain especially in my Achilles heels to the point wear I can not wear heels at all. There is weakness in bilateral ankles with this pain. Now my hands especially my wrists and pinkys are in pain and have a hard time extending them, horrible headaches (which I never had before) along with intestinal cramping and diarrhea everyday. I am wondering if this could explain the swollen lymph nodes that the military docs have been trying to figure out in my neck and armpits? I am trying to get an appointment because the joint pain is especially impacting my life. Any suggestions are appreciated
