Specific diet that is helpful?
Exercise that is best? Water aerobics? Am truly looking at PMR or RA?
I am from the Phila area and have been thinking of trying to get an appt at UofP.
Let us know how things go today. Hope that you get some answers and good solutions.

Warm water exercises and walking are great.

Thank you so much for your questions. They are greatly appreciated.

I had CatScans, MRI's, PetScan, etc. and they ruled out RA, but I will still bring that up, because you never know if the UPenn doctor may see something different than the other doctors.

UPenn's in person visits were booked out 6 1/2 months at the time I scheduled the appointment. Their televisits were filled into 2025. Isn't that crazy?

I'll definitely update everyone sometime over the next 3 days, and post whatever information the doctor provides. Thanks again!
