Thank you everyone I did not know that arthritis was worse in the morning too.. and yes thanks to let me know that this location is common for arthritis. Yes lani I think that the hard treatments combined with the lack of oestrogen can perhaps bring on early arthritis. So that could be the tickets.
It has now been about 3 months that I can feel it so I hope that since it has not developped more maybe maybe I am lucky to have arthritis.
If arthritis can be told from a Xray I can ask for one (I need to know what to ask for here on this side of the pond).
Funny desease indeed so far I have been happy to have a stomach bug, temperature when have headaches (from an infection) and now so glad that it is arthritis! (I hope)
