Default Dr appointment today...
Well as if the MS hasn't been painful enough...my good ole doc thinks I have rhematoid arthritis in my hands. He also commented that it could be in my spine...but I think that is just from an old injury, like the one in my neck.

I have two bulging discs in my neck from an auto injury...
and the hits just keep on coming! lol He did prescribe more of the vicodin so I wouldn't run out this time, told me to rest as much as possible. ok, sure...I'll try that one. lol

He didn't give you anything else? Nothing? Is he going to do any testing to confirm RA?

Glad he gave you more Vicodin!

Glad you got the pain meds. What tests does he plan on doing to check for the RA?

Oh, Momma Sorry to hear about this.

So sorry to hear about this new development. I hope he puts you on something to slow the progression of it. I have hand pain, too, although I'm sure not as severe as yours. It keeps me from doing things I want to do so I can relate to the limiting aspects of it. I sure do hope you feel better - glad he at least gave you something for the pain.

You know, good ole' banana puddin' always makes it feel better, too!!

So sorry to hear about your new problem...

So, do you sometimes feel as though you have a sign on your forehead that only Fate can read that says, "Hit me, Baby, one more time?"

Hope the meds help with the pain...take care of yourself...
