Hello all,
so good to find a site like this! so heres my situation, i have RA, a fused wrist after surgery as a child, i am losing movement in my thumb, i have calification in my left hip and my pain is progressing. I ve been to my internist who is the only MD that wants to help me and give me medication which is vicodin 4 x a day, it used to help. percocet helped but the headaches from them are terrible. I also had tons of cortisone injections, I became a vegetarian that helped with the pain believe it or not, i have done yoga, but the only thing that really helps with the pain and gets me through the day is pain meds, i have had 2 appointmnets in the last week and was told I dont need pain meds at one site, the other office was a PA and he doesnt give it, i have to wait a month for the actual doctor to see me. I dont understand what the big deal is, they have no problem billing
