hi @mucho_pain33 , I’m sorry to hear that you’re experiencing such pain - it cannot be easy dealing with this.
I will attach some links on pain management, have you mentioned how much pain you’re in to your rheumatologist or any other doctors? It is often most efficient to work with your medical professionals to find a treatment which will effectively work for you as each person is different and what works for someone one may not work for someone else. I hope you manage to find some relief from this pain and please do continue to keep us updated!

Hi @mucho_pain33 I'm sorry that you are in so much pain.

I feel like I've tried most things over the years from paracetamol to morphine patches anti-inflammatories to tramadol and everything in between. The most effective was always anti-inflammatories which unfortunately have been taken away from me due to now being on blood thinners🙄

Are your DMARDs not working well for you? I hope it's not too long before you see someone from your medical team to discuss the pain you're in.

Sending some ((())) useless I know but at least you know someone cares.
