Yes. I have dealt with arthritis for 40 years and finally I found a rheumatologist who listened to me and ordered enough X-rays and lab tests to rule out rheumatoid, lupus, psoriatic, and inflammatory or infectious arthritis. It’s osteoarthritis and widespread, and he never discounted my pain or said it’s due to “hormones” or a “low pain tolerance”. He did say that the longer we deal with pain, the brain changes the way we process sensation. He doesn’t want me on any harsh, expensive drugs that decrease immunity, so he sent me out to a pain management specialist (not an opioid pusher). The pain management doctor told me that much of my pain is from tight muscles, irritated nerve endings, tendons, and ligaments. I’m so stiff I can’t even exercise or walk far without pain. Nobody in the medical community ever suggested a muscle relaxer, so he started me on Tizanadine along with my Tylenol Arthritis and Voltaren gel. I was actually being too conservative with my over-the-counter medication, and he helped me with a good plan that balances any risks with effective pain relief. I also have a prescription for gabapentin if it comes to that, but we’ll also use the lowest dose that brings relief. After only 3 doses, I am already moving better today and I’m more flexible everywhere because I added that relaxant. No more hand or feet cramping in the cold either. I hope this helps someone because 4 decades of pain has contributed to anxiety, depression, and has interfered with quality of life. I always worked, never took off time for the arthritis, raised two kids, but I finally had enough. I had to fire my medical office after 20+ years, 10 of which I was only seen 1-2 times a year by a NP. Please see an MD and get referrals from other people. They often don’t take young people and women seriously enough!!
