I have joint pain and swelling in my hands, wrists, shoulders and now ankles... Went to doctor so they put me on meloxicam and still no relief. Went back again they took blood and did "panels" and said it was my thyroid and put me on medicine this week for that. I am still hurting.. it is getting worse. It is awful in the morning as I have trouble getting out of bed, once I start moving, it lessens but if I stop or sit down, the aches and pains. and I am weak, no strength to grasp and do things. What do you think I should do?
