Hi, what wonderful news that your cancer was successfully treated. Now that you are back on your RA meds and are having pain again needs
to be investigated by a doctor. I also do not believe the meds are causing your pain.
You said that it seems your doctor and his staff might be overworked and given time restraints for office visits. Communication is key to treatment.
The previous comment is spot on about seeking another RA specialist and I agree that extra traveling to seek the care is worth it.
Once you are under the care of a doctor you have confidence in, and are getting treatment, you might be able to do video calls for concerns and avoid long travel time.
I wish you the best my friend.
