Hi @Tracee

It sounds as though the rheumatologist discharged you? So you have no consultant if I understand you rightly.

The GP has given you cocos, but they aren't helping enough.

I wondered whether you ought to go back to your GP and ask for a referral to a pain clinic in the absence of any other 'expert' other than your GP being involved in your care?

A fair few people here have sworn by the help they've had from those clinics.

Best of luck
