What Causes Joints Pain Along With Peripheral Neuropathy?
I have Verde degenerative joint disease in my spine, knees, hips and other joints. I have scholiosis that was a 10 degree curve approximately 3 to 4 yrs ago. I am active and quite flexible with exercises of moderate impact. Recently I have had numbness in my arms and thighs. The Physical medicine doctor has advised me I now have Periphcal Neuropathy caused by the arthritis I am not diabetic and my recent blood tests show my numbers are excellent. I am 69 yrs old and female. Is this common and what can I do? Apparently I had a joint flare up a month ago that lasted two weeks. Any feedback for me? I do not want to start pain mess.

Hello,
As first-line management, you can take analgesics like paracetamol or aceclofenac for pain relief.
If symptoms persist, it is better to consult a physician and get evaluated.
