Until this past January, my husband has never had a history of this type of pain or any other chronic health problems. .He is currently on no medication except for muscle relaxers to deal with this pain. The following is a general list of discomfort he has been experiencing:

-The left ball of his left foot aches constantly.
-The inside of his right knee: hurts while bending and sometimes while its straight when he lay down.
-Both hips are just sore and tight, but loosen as the day goes on. Hurts to put weight on them.
-His mid back - it hurts to take a deep breath - feels like all the muscles attached to his rib bones are too small and can't reach where they should.
-His upper arm muscles - triceps? can't reach behind him, hurts to raise his arm, to lift things, hurts to lean on anything with them (cant sleep on side comfortably)
-Neck - generally tight, can't turn head to shoulder

Is it possible that he may be suffering from rheumatoid arthritis??Are these the symptoms for arthritis??I heard that Depen Penamine: http://www.drugdelivery.ca/s31021-s-DEPEN-PENAMINE.aspx is used to treat severe rheumatoid arthritis…do you think that he has to see another doctor first??
