Thanks @hfoster - yes I’m thankful to have been able to get into a Rheumatologist soon after I saw my gp. She happened to be a friend of a friend and squeezed me in. I tried Physio’s first for weeks thinking it was sports related somehow until the pain continues to get worse and travel to my neck and shoulders. It looks like I may be waiting for a few weeks for the PET scan so can’t go on prednisone until I have had that done. I’ll let you know how that goes. It’s expensive but my specialist said if it was her she would certainly rule everything else out first. Meanwhile the pain progresses. I’m trying to be thankful it’s not something more sinister that I have been diagnosed with. I’ve realised you have to be your own health advocate and research and get as much info as you can and push the drs. I had one gp say just get a steroid injection and that should fix your pain. ‘It’s not uncommon to suddenly have that kind of pain.’ How wrong she was. I hope you can figure it out and get the answers you need.
