hi,  i not sure if its the cold and my asthma doing it but since yesterday i get these very painflash through my body. I mostly feel it in the left and right of my chest but sometimes I feel it in my arms, hands sometimes even legs and other places. I have a medical history of Wegeners Granulomatosis and current i am on Methatrixate, folic acid, Vectoryl and nexium. do you perphaps have a indication of what it could be? kind regards
HI, thanks for using Chat Doctor An asthma attack would cause pain in the chest but would not cause pain in other areas, another cause would need to be found. Wegeners can sometimes be associated with joint aches and pain, so this may be a cause, but you may need to be assessed to determine the cause. Neuralgia (nerve related pain) can sometimes cause a sharp sudden pain. Neuralgia can be due to: (1) vitamin b12 or folate deficiency(2)diabetes(3)liver or kidney disease(4)infection(5)side effect of medication(6)trauma(7)exposure to toxinsExamination and blood tests can determine the cause hope this helps
