Well, I hope that your rheumatologist connects you with pain management like my rheumatologist did. Unfortunately, there are no medication’s that the rheumatologist could give me because I do not have an autoimmune conditions which his meds would work for. Hopefully he will make sure that you already have or will check via bloodwork to eliminate any auto immune issues. But pain management has been able to help me. Doesn’t completely eliminate pain, but it does help. I can’t take the ibuprofen, or naproxen very often because I start to take on extra fluid. Which is not good for me. Most people it does not bother, so I am in a very small minority For that happening.
I do hope that you find some answers that will help what you are going through. It is probably going to be a combination of things, including medication’s, exercise, physical therapy, and I also do massage therapy.. I wish you well with your new diagnosis. 🙏
