Hi everyone hope your all enjoying the warm weather and all are reasonably pain free.
After 4 weeks of trying to get an appointment with my Rheumy Consultant I have finally been given one for this coming Thursday!!
I posted a few weeks ago about a pain in my back...well it has now spread to my right shoulder and right side of neck :roll: Also my ankles have decided to come out and play too. My ankles are not too painful but are constantly nagging with a throbbing ache. My work does involve me standing all day and this is not helping at all. I have spoken to my Manager about this but she said it is not possible to reduce my hours :roll:
I have taken this coming week off as a holiday and will be resting my poor ankles quite a bit.
I am currently taking 10mg Methatrexate, Naproxen, paracetamol and Omeprazole.
Love n hugs

Hey Sheila,
I really hope your consultant has some answers and it's great news that you finally got an appointment! I always find a week off, getting up slowly each day and having a fun relaxing time can help to settle my mind if not my arthritis. I hope it works for you, especially staying off your feet a bit.

I hope the week off and the appointment both help. It can't be easy if you're on your feet all day. The rheumatologist will probably tinker with your meds a bit or add something to the mix. You may even get a lovely steroid jab to help stuff along. Whatever, I just hope it works.If at first you don't succeed, then skydiving definitely isn't for you.
