joint pain for about 4 years
Nov 18, 2008 10:20PM in the Arthritis Community
Just to let you know, you're not alone. Many people with joint/muscle pain have trouble getting doctors to listen and take them seriously. I'm kind of having that problem myself. Sometimes you have to keep going to different doctors until you find the right one to help. It gets tiring and frustrating.

MRI help

sciatica not improving

I have the same pain. The burning and shooting pain is horrible. I also have neck problems. Did you get an MRI? It could be helpful to find out exactly what is going on. I am scheduled for one also. I agree, the muscle relaxants don't really help. Try ice and heat. Alternate the two. Also I take 3 Advil in the morning, then 3 at night.
