Thank you for asking.
I go for my lab work tomorrow that the rheumatologist ordered, so I still don’t know what’s wrong with me. I have had much pain in both shoulders since my initial visit.
I have continued with liquid Alieve x2/day and Tylenol for arthritis x2/day and this has taken the edge off.
I’m much better when moving around. Sitting is the worst.

I'm where you are. Took almost 3 months to get an appointment with a rheumatologist. I have substituted prescription Celebrex for the Alieve but think the Alieve might have been better. I also take the acedminiphen (Tylenol) with the NSAID. My neck kills me and the muscles in my shoulders hurt. Those muscles were so tight and I go for a massage weekly and all he does is my shoulders and neck and it has made a vast improvement. I had acupuncture and they did cupping which helped the muscles in the upper back and shoulders. I had something like this 25 years ago. Got thru it with NSAIDs for a few months. I never had a diagnosis really. This time I have massive inflamation on my left side, my knee and foot are very painful. I need a cane in the morning. Good luck.

Thank you, it is anxiety producing for me not having a diagnosis and dealing with daily pain and soreness. I plan to try the alieve liquid Tylenol combination. Please let me hear how things progress for you.
