Are there any older guys with haemophilia that are experiencing chronic pain in both elbows. Right hand small finger has pins and needles feeling?
I have pins and needles in my small finger as well as the next. Xrays shows that I have a nerve caught in the elbow joint. Got used to it after an few years. Now I have Carpal tunnel syndrome as well.

I do pilates 2-3 days a week. I also walk 3 days a week. I find this has helped keep the pain in my joints, and all around well-being more positive. My question is: Is this too much?
If you enjoy it, you are not in pain and your levels are good I don't see why it would be too much. I think the stretching walking and strength training helps the joints and muscles
I can't seem to get enough sleep anymore. Somedays my joints hurt so bad I can hardly move and I am experiencing a terrible burning sensation around different joints when I move them. The most recent one is next to certain areas along my spine. My VWD is mild but this all worries me since it is happening more frequently.
Sounds like a joint bleed to me I have a target joint and that’s how it feels when it begins. Or to me it does.
I’m so sorry that seems like it would be miserable
Nowadays in countries with advanced medical care, many hemophiliacs never learn enough about our condition--about self-care and prevention of injury. It is critical that youngsters learn to avoid joint problems that can linger a life-time and cause chronic pain, plus the reasons for and importance of treatment. Not every young man needs to play tackle football or climb mountains. Encourage reading and development of positive social skills, things we all need in life.
I've been reading a lot about the benefits of medical marijuana with people with hemophilia. Can anyone give me any insight
Thanks !!

Do you ever push yourself through a bleeding episode without infusing I do and it's actually not that bad once the bleeding has calmed down and gone away I hate needles is there any advise for this
I would strongly discourage trying to push through a bleed and not infuse. Especially if it is in any major joint. You will definitely pay for it when you get older and you develop severe arthritis… read more
