Hi,I am Dr. Gopal Goel (Orthopaedic Surgeon). I will be looking into your question and guiding you through the process. Please write your question below.
Lupus. Have Extreme Pain, Stiffness In Body. On Pain Medication, Lodine. Had Bowel Resection. Could It Be Rheumatoid Arthritis Too?
I have constant pain and at one time it was suggested by a test that it was Lupas, but now when they test me everything is Negative and they look at me like all I want is pain medicine, but without it I cant stand the pain. I take Lodine to break out the stiffness and it helps but I have taken it so long it doesn't do as well for me now, they still are saying Lupas and Rheaumatoid Arthritis. I tried on several occasions to take steroids and they actually make the pain so much worse, what can I do to help out with this pain and and convince them the pain is real? I have had l5 S1 Back surgery and bowel resection that left me in severe pain as well. I need help finding a doctor to understands my pain and will help me. I go to a pain clinic but they don't give enough of pain medication, is there anything else I can do to help my pain?
According to your history it seems that this could be reiters symdrome. You need to further investigate through blood test. After your investigation you need to take medicine accordingly. newer biologics like infliximab,may help. Hope I have answered your query. Let me know if I can assist you further.
