Every joint I have pops, cracks, and hurts. My newest symptom is my neck cracking. It s a bit unnerving to here that from the inside. I ve been to different doctors over the years. I ve been checked for rheumatoid arthritis twice, no definite results, choughrines (sp) once, didn t show, I do have chronic dry eye and chronic dry mouth, my dentist is pretty convinced that I have TMD/TMJ and a physical therapist said I classic symptoms and tender points associated with fibromyalgia. I have hypothyroidism that is treated. I ve had two carpal tunnel releases. The last rheumatologist I saw 5-8 years ago seemed rather nonchalant. He said it was osteoarthritis. When I asked him was there something I should be doing or not be doing to help. He said no, just when it got worse I could start taking glucosamine and when it hit my knees I may need knee replacement. Needless to say I have been reluctant to address this much since then. I am now in pain, not searing pain usually but fairly chronic pain and it takes a lot of energy to deal with that. My question...do you have any suggestions other than ice packs, Advil, and Volteran cream? I take Celebrex for migraines so I have to be a little conservative on the ibuprofen. Well I guess my question is a moot point now. I thought I could get at least a little advice on where I should start but for a $25 copayment I can see a dr face to face and discuss this....sorry I had hopes that maybe you could help at least a little.
