I am still in excruciating pain after a year of being medicated for my RA. My inflammation markers are fairly low compared to the sky high levels they were at when I was diagnosed and was wondering whether this is a regular occurrence for many people ? I have blood tests monthly at the moment. Any feedback is massively appreciated as I'm still pretty new to all of this !?
Thank you in advance ! x
Hi Maddy. Everyone's pain-tolerance level is different, and the pain may be worse in the early stages. After 45 years of RA, the daily pain is tolerable (also thanks to meds), but I remember being in pain when I was a college student.
@A myRAteam Member @A myRAteam Member I agree with Tami, Linda! I saw my rheumatologist on Friday and even though my inflammation markers are relatively low (still not within the ideal range), he told me you can still experience just as much pain with little to no inflammation in the blood so it is undeniably a very silly comment for your doctor to make !
I hope you're both having a fairly good day ! xxx
I also have flare ups and my Dr. Tells me I shouldn’t have pain she tells me my markers are low
Yep.
