With my RA, when I have pain in spite of the meds I'm already taking, I also take some Darvocet. You might ask your rheumy about something like that. lie Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It's not a long term cure but it sure helps in the short term. lie Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest guest Posted July 11, 2005 Report Share Posted July 11, 2005 tammy, i can tell you that sometimes you have to get out the " top guns " and go to a teaching medical center. pharting around with local docs sometimes just doesn't cut it. i am living proof. won't go into my background here (i have lots of posts in rebecca's links tho), but take my word for it. not sure what your underlying causes are, if any, but gather up all your medical records, especially tests and call and make an appointment. waiting for 2 or 3 months is not uncommon. not sure where you are located, but there are many fine teaching medical centers all over and they take all major health insurances. let me know what you decide, jeff > I have been having constant swelling and painful joints all over, > especially arms, hands, back and feet.
