New diagnosis

Buzzkins69

Hi all you lovely people!! I'm struggling with my GP taking me seriously. She diagnosed me with rhymatoid arthritis in my knees last year and just doesn't take my pain and lack of mobility seriously. I love the NHS and I know the covid pandemic has affected everyone but as the months tick on I call my gp and get a telephone chat and that's it. I would like advice as to what to do now please?? Even if it's old grannies remedies if it helps! Thanks everyone - have a good day!😁

Good morning @Buzzkins69 and welcome to the forum.

I understand that you have issues with your GP and her treatment of you following a diagnosis of Rheumatoid Arthritis. Have you been offered a referral to a Rheumatologist, as this would be the normal route for RA?
