Hi, to our latest Anon on this thread. And welcome to Empowher! I'm so glad you found this thread of like-minded (perhaps like-aching) people; maybe we can help you find some answers as well.
I'm so sorry that you're having these issues too. How long has it been since you noticed the stiffness? What did your doctor say about your inflammatory markers being elevated? Did she or he put you on an anti-inflammatory medicine or make any other recommendations?
I am 51 like you, Anon, and am interested for both of us. I often have stiffness and some swelling in my fingers and ankles. I think I have attributed it (perhaps wrongly) to fluid retention and haven't paid a lot of attention to it. But these questions and readers are making me wonder otherwise.
Anon, is there information I can find for you about inflammation in general or about any other questions you have in specific?
