I have an appointment with my rheumatologist in a few weeks and the main topic will be the residual pain that I have. I feel great otherwise and getting more work done than before, but stiffness and pain is still there. Even though it's minor to what I have experienced it still makes me mad that I am still going through it. Some have recommended glucosamine but I have heard some negative opinions of it. Any thoughts anyone? The problem is muscle and tendon not joint. I have had to have one knee replaced so I know what joint pain feels like and this isn't it. I hang onto what ever plus I find and this weeks it's in the form of a Beyond the Grain gluten free pizza with no tomato sauce on it. Silly, but it really cheered me up.
