whenever i hit the punching bag with gloves on rigth away my fingers get swollen up and the next day i can feel pain through the finger i gone to the doc he just told me that i had it but idk im only 17 im to young ,he didnt even run ant test on me just subscribed me medicine i noticed it when i started smoking weed
i think i have weak joints when i started working out 6months ago my wrist would hurt,its a 70lb bag i started again hitting it after a long time i punch it hard back and forth with another friend…

Ive also got a bulding disc in my neck from a accident 20 yrs ago. How can i get away from the pain, i have some good days and others are terrible.

I was diagnosed with RA in 2000. I have suffered with chronic pain for years, mostly in the winter months. My doctors are not sympathetic-I have tried pain management clinics-specialists-surgeons etc. No relief. Pain meds, ugh…doctors are so nervous the rather let me suffer. WHY?
They wish for me to continue therapy. Im so depressed, I ache all night long-killing my sex drive-poor hubby-I toss and turn all night.
Anyone have any advice with dealing with this illness or doctors. I feel so alone, Im young and am so worried about getting older and worse. This disease consumes my life during the winter. I can’t drive, eat, cook, type or write without tears in my eyes. My hubby thinks it is all in my head. I cant even play with my kids! I am on the search for a new doc. with empathy. How in the world can I manage anymore. I feel like a failure at work, home and as a wife. My grandma had RA and she was a crippled mess of a woman by time she was 65. Any advice would be appreciated.

My girlfriend does not have insurance, she can not afford insurance. The only medication she has been prescribed is 800mg ibuprofens which she takes twice a day. It cant be good for her liver. She is in so much pain all the time, I want to pay for her to visit the doctor to get some real pain killers. Which pain killers are most effective for this problem? She can’t afford the 2000 dollar a month shots for the arthritis that her doctor wants her to take as well, so that is not an option. What should she do or say when she visits the doctor in order to get some relief besides from ibuprofen. She also has a thyroid problem as well as some sort of muscle problem which started acting up increasing the pain even more.
The doctor recommends a medication that costs 2000 dollars a month without insurance, something like 500 with insurance. Maybe if I robbed a bank or start dealing some serious drugs I could help her… Seriously, shes training to be a nurse as well, hopefully she will get insurance, but right now I’m hoping that she can get hydrocodone as its only like 20 dollars without insurance, I know about the side effects but surely it must be better then taking ibuprofen. Basically my question is what can she do to get her doctor to prescribe something she can actually afford? Beg?
