Rheumatoid Arthritis
I can’t be the only one. I have rheumatoid arthritis in my left elbow and my right thumb. The pain is excruciating. Does anybody else struggle with this? If so, how do you get relief?
A little backstory- I’ve struggled since I was 18 (I’m 24 now) and they first diagnosed it as tennis elbow. They did a cortisone injection when they first diagnosed tennis elbow and it helped for a few weeks but I couldn’t bring myself back to do injections over and over. I pushed through. Fast forward to now and it’s horrible. I went back and had testing done this past summer and that’s when I found out it’s NOT tennis elbow, but it’s rheumatoid arthritis. My dr has me on medication, the pain is definitely down from before I was medicated but it’s still pretty bad. I’m just looking for some relief I can get at home.
