Inflammatory Arthritis

leanne1985

Hi, I’m new to this… I have inflammatory arthritis in my wrist & have been taking Hydroxychloroquine for a few years which eased the pain but not so much now… any advice on next steps? Have an appointment with rheumatologist in June 😊

Hi @leanne1985

Welcome to the versus arthritis forum.

I see that you have arthritis in your wrist and are taking pain relief medication. You’d like to hear from forum members who can offer you advice prior to your rheumatologist appointment.

I’m not sure if this link will be useful to you but I hope so:

I hope your appointment goes well and find joining the forum beneficial.

Can you ring the nurse at the clinic to say that it's not working so well do you take it on its own they may add another med to it?
