kinda new and really hurting

[Guest guest]

I'm on Plaquinil, prednisone and vioxx. In the mornings, my hands hurt so badly

that I

want to cry. I can barely type this. It's VERY uncomfortable to do so. My

left wrist feels

like it's broken when I first wake. I wear the braces on both when I sleep, but

those, nor

the meds seem to do any good. I was just " officially " diagnosed several months

ago and

cannot get in to see the doc to save my life. I have an appt for August already

scheduled,

but it seems like I need to see her when the pain, stiffness and swelling is

this bed. Do the

rest of you have troubles like these? I need to be more consistent about

reading the posts

here so I can learn something! I'm glad this board exists or I'd feel VERY

alone in this!!!

she gave me darvecet for pain, but it does NOTHING.
