who is the Dr to prescribe, Ra,Md, or does this go to pain management?
@A myRAteam Member
my journey began 11 yrs ago right hip/cyst, 4 joint replacements. R/hip x 3 rep, 4 dislocations, r. shoulder replaced 5yrs, right ankle 6 months, and left shoulder relpaced2 weeks. Don't have pity for I have so much strength from my Lord but I have tapped all support after each hospital adventure, I always say 1 more and done I think after my left hip is replaced within the next 9 months I can look forward to some sort of quality retirement..( was 57 when I retired on ssd from dentistry now 60).
My RA and I just seem to be on hold to get the joints calm.. I don't like being bionic
@A myRAteam Member,
I always start with my Rheumatologist. Ours prescribed a low dose muscle relaxer, which works better than pain meds. If your Rheumatologist feels you need pain management they will do a referral. Remember open communication with your Rheumatologist is key for your care.
Feel better soon!
