Cutting off your nose to spite your face

[Guest guest]

So, my migraine doc took me off all NSAIDs, believing that they were causing

rebound.

The problem is my joints, which is what I took motrin/Indocin for, are making me

almost as disabled as the migraines! Granted, motrin never alleviated all my

pain, just took the edge off.

I have no firm diagnosis at this time. I am negative for all the usual suspects,

yet have at least four and sometimes as many as eight joints flaring up.

Right knee surgery twice in the past eight months. That knee is not better.

The ortho blames the hip pain on bursitis, and is waiting to see if the pain

goes away once or if the knee does. Really need a new ortho, as I disagree, and

believe it is the SI joint causing the hips to hurt so much. Chiro made things

worse, IMO. SIJ disorder doesn't explain the shoulders or elbows, though.

Anyway, sorry to vent and ramble.

Anybody else with seronegative arthropathy, and if so, what helps?

It's been about ten years since I saw a Rheumy, wondering if that is smarter

than a new ortho?
