what are your symproms and how do they affect you if you don't mind me asking. I am like the lady that posted the problem.I have constant stiff muscles and now Osteoarthritis everywhere with Erosive type in my hands. Tendonitis in feet/ankles,neck and shoulders. If one pain calms for a while lets say in my right shoulder then my left picks up the pain to keep me on my toes. I started with pain in my right shoulder girdle/neck when I was 29yrs old within hrs of giving birth to my 4th/final child I am now nearing 69yrs old with not one day of being anything but riddled in pain from these stiff muscles,they feel like they made of thick old rope and are being twisted. I demanded being referred to a rheumatologist but although a lovely man they don't deal with Osteo so sent me on my way with a plan of meds which didn't work. How is it there isn't a specialist for this. I go to the pain clinic for nerve ablation but any other shots in my spine don't work and they don't really deal with anything beloew the neck and above the lumbar area.
