Guest guest Posted July 24, 2011 Report Share Posted July 24, 2011 All, Did not mean to bore you with my life history, did not mind sharing but did not mean for you guys to read on and on what I sent to : ) Good Luck with the pain management doctor but seems that a Rheumatologist would evaluate you then okay you to a program. Arthritis programs do recommend doing the most you can but some rheumatoid patients do not have the synovial fluid to lubricate joints and the bond shearing can hurt and that's what happens when my SI joint gets " hyper-mobile " . Just like " real " people have to warm up to exercise, I know us pain patients must have to also. I have my " huge " rubber band I call it to stretch my muscles out and my tennis balls relax my muscles with myofascial release exercises. This is a good link that reenforces what you are saying and PT but it also says have okayed from Doctor : ) If you haven't checked where you have arthritis, if they are weak areas, or have spurs., I have always been told to check it out first. http://www.mayoclinic.com/health/arthritis/AR00009 You tube has self myofascial release exercises and massage therapy that you can perform on yourself when approved by your DO. You should ask her for a print out as my PT and Doctors in the past have all done that for me. Anti-convulsants probably don't because it's arthritis. I thought you were checking into seeing a rhuemotologist, , they might be really up to date on things other doctors may not be. Couldn't hurt to ask.
