Along with fibromyalgia my doctor says my MRI showed degenerative joint disease. Anything I can do to keep it from getting worse. They thought I had a pinched nerve because of the amount of pain and weakness in my leg and lower back. With my inflammation test positive I was told the increased pain was because I was in a overactive flare. Any tips would be greatly appreciated.
Hi Tarra,
Sorry you are in so much pain. Degenerative joint disease is another name for osteoarthritis. Have you talked to a Rheumatologist? I know mine says there are no cures for osteoarthritis but since you tested positive for inflamation you might have another type of arthritis so you really need to check with a Rheumy. My Rheumy is treating my Fibro and I’m seeing a Physiatrist for my back pain. The Arthritis pain + Fibro pain = double and not so much fun.
Hoping you can get some relief and let us know what your Rheumy says.
Gentle hugs.
