Hi Jane,

I'm glad you had a good appointment . It does sometimes take a few appointments to get a relationship going with a rheumy.

I hope that when she asked you if pain relief etc was OK, you were honest and didn't play things down as we do sometimes tend to do.

Keep us posted about how things go,
Katharine

It does sound like a good appointment and I am glad that this doc is really caring about your pain level. That is important.

Good luck with your future testing.

I am glad that your appointment went well. As for the doctor to ask about your pain levels your lucky because alot of doctors won't ask and will only talk about it only if you the patient bring it up. At least doctors in Maryland do not want to give pain medicines well narcotics because of fear of addiction. I hope you keep getting better. :wink2: Laurie
