I hope the rheumatologist and pain specialist have some suggestions for reducing the pain and that they don't just say I have to live with it.
Thanks,

I saw the rheumatologist today and as I expected all results of the bone scan and autoimmune tests were negative except ANA which in itself doesn't say much.
The rheumatologist said he can't do anything further for me. I told him I'm seeing a pain specialist on Thursday and he said that's the way to go.
I feel disappointed and discouraged. I have spoken to a couple of friends who have had pain issues (one has an autoimmune disease, one has fibromyalgia/RA) and they both seem to be coping, living life, working and had some level of improvement. I am just worried that unless my pain levels improve I won't be able to live life or cope.
One of my friends suggested I see a specialist haematologist, which I will look into.
Sorry to be so needy, I just need words of encouragement at the moment.
