You have described my symptoms to a"T" minus the rash...do not have that. I am a 51 year old female, I was very active until these symptons started about 2 years ago(2013). I have seen my PCP, Orthopedic Dr., and a Rheumatologist to no avail. I was tested for RA and Lymes. Both negative. I lay in bed at night with such pain in my ankles and wrist that I cannot sleep. Interesting thing is about 3 weeks before my first symptom started I was on the antibiotic Levaquin. I think there is a connection, but my doctors do not because they said once the antibiotic was out of my system the symptoms would go away. Although I have found research stating you can have permanent damage to your joints. I just want my life back. I want to be able to hike, swim, and kayak again.

My husband of 35 years woke up one day (always active) and complained of his legs hurting (both sides) and a few weeks later, it hurt his arms to pull covers up! Long story short, his arms, legs, hips, shoulders, thumbs & more have pretty much shut down due to his tendon tears. He has had 4 blood work ups, 3 or 4 lyme tests, all negative. He has seen over 16 doctors in two years including a month at Mayo. No answers. His quality of life is so sad. Are you any better? This is a horrible condition whatever it is. My name is Karen and my heart breaks for all of you.

Google Ehlers Danlos Syndrome. I have it and it causes chronic tendinosis in many joints.

Me and my twin brother are experience the exact same, us too do not know what is wrong with us. Random sites of chronic tendinitis, poor sleep, persistant rash and general muscle aches or joint from doing the littlest of activity. Extremely frustrating as I'm treating bilateral elbow tendons placing unable to battling a impinged shoulder!

I have similar symptoms. I have achilles tendonitis, esophagitis, costochondritis and most of the tendons in my body feel tight. I think it's to do with inflammation in your body which means you're body is acidic.
I started taking Fusion strong dose turmeric tablets about a month ago for the inflammation and just started taking Tissue Salts for my tendons. The turmeric has definitely helped with the esophagitis. I use KT tape on my achilles atm which has helped also. You can buy it from the chemist and YouTube how to apply. Not sure my achilles will get completely better because I now have scar tissue.
Time will tell.
Deb :)
