I am still waiting to get in the see my rheumatologist ( June 23rd) and over the past few weeks I have a dull but always there pain in my wrists and knuckles. It is affecting my everyday life.. there have been days that I can barely tie my kids shoes...... Is there anything to help with the pain that I can get over the counter until I get in for my Dr's appointment. I have tried Tylenol Arthritis.... it is ok.. but maybe there is something better. My mom had Ra and past away almost 2 years ago... I don't know how she managed to deal with this pain everyday.....I don't know if I should cry 
or just stream.
.... Any help would be great . Thanks
Wow, I feel so bad for you. Why is it taking so long to see your doctor? No one should have to wait that long when they're in pain. I used to work for a great ortho doc and he always said, "If they're in pain, they have to be seen. Today." Even if that meant we worked 'til 8 or 9 at night sometimes. Call back, and insist to be seen sooner. In the mean-time, Advil or aspirin has always worked better for me than Tylenol, yet I've been told a little of both sometimes works. Best to you!
I am going to see me Mom's rheumatologist... they actually got me in earlier... I have been waiting since the end of Feb....My family Dr is like the Dr you worked for... I can get in same day.Almost there... I will try Advil maybe that will work better. Thanks for your help.
