Hi everyone!
Im a 34 year old female & very new 2 all this. Following months of pain in my hands, wrist & feet my GP is almost certain i have RA & i have my 1st appointment with a rheumatoligist next wed. :shock:
What should i expect? I was taking Naproxen for the pain but wasnt helping much so iv been given diclofenac to try.

Hi there and welcome from me too. I do have RA but no way can I remember back to my first rheumatology appointment and, in any case, it'll have changed beyond recognition now
Marie's right. Try re-posting on the Living With Arthritis forum. I'm sure you'll get plenty of repliesIf at first you don't succeed, then skydiving definitely isn't for you.
