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
