CF, arthritis, and chronic pain
It’s not unusual to deal with chronic pain, or random pains and aches, and even arthritis when having CF. For me, I will get arthritic flare ups (particularly in my hands) every once in a while. However, I posed this question to our CF News Today Instagram and I got a wide variety of responses, and I’ll include some here:
– As people have gotten older, joint pain and chronic pain often gets worse
– CFRA (cystic fibrosis related arthritis) is a thing, which I didn’t know
– Some people have responded saying that they have chronic neck/back/shoulder pain from years of coughing
– Around their menstrual cycle, women have responded a correlation of pain there
– Pushing too hard or overexertion for some people have/result in pain and joint pain
– Weather affects some people, particularly cold weather
– CF arthropathy
– Periods of lower lung function have correlated with painDo you feel like you have had issues with chronic pain as a result of CF? How has your care team approached it?
