I was thinking I would get something geared toward joint pain. I didnt expect hardcore drugs but it feels like someone is tearing open my knee caps. I tried Motrin before going to the dr the first time around. If that had worked I wouldnt have gone again, but the pain is excrutiating. Ive never asked for painkillers from any doctor before and I prefer not to take them but the pain is 10 out of 10 otherwise.
I have a rheumy appt tomorrow morning and I am waiting for the referral for the geneticist ti go through. I have had echos, I have MVP and tricuspid regurgitation. I get one every year.
Except my doc doesnt even want to give me antibiotics when I have strep and thinks my interstitial cystitis is from stress when it isnt. My sis and dad have the same issues with him. I didnt ask him for anything specific but there are drugs that arent hardcore for joint pain like Indocin. Though I think its not manufactured anymore.
Im not saying I want hardcore pills forever, I wanted something that would help just until my appt tomorrow. I dont see how its wrong. I didnt waltz in and ask for vicodin. I asked him for simething other than motrin and tried to show him my hypermobility but he didnt want to even see that. The problem isnt me and I am going to find a new GP.
agreed! your doc is a pompous idiot, the worst combination! I'm getting evaluated for EDS too and while my physician is great, she doesn't seem to have her facts straight about EDS, but at least she is determined to completely take care of me via specialists. I haven't gotten an official diagnosis yet, but I am the same pain issues as you. Again, my doctor is great, fortunately, but I have military healthcare only, and most of the docs are rude arrogant idiots. I saw a Derm last week that was acting like I was an idiot for believing what I've read on the internet (which is over a text book worth of info and all said what I was saying about EDS and the opposite of what HE was saying about EDS!!!! and came from medical journals, EDNF, and other credible sources) and was completely rude to me and made me cry! I'm thinking my son has it too, so I just mentioned to his physician that I was being evaluated and I think he has it too so I wanted him to get a physical evaluation, then he starts telling me in a very scolding way that if I don't

I'm still have pain problems. My rheumatologist ordered a bunch of blood work and I have a positive ANA test and a titer of 1:80 with a speckled pattern, so now he's looking into autoimmune diseases.
I've having more and more muscle pain as time goes on, so it's frustrating to have both knee pain and muscle pain, and it's certainly frustrating. My GP still doesn't think anything is wrong. I've given up on him. I am not seeing anymore, I'm finding a new doc. He admits that it COULD be certain illnesses but won't give me any medications still. Whatever.
