I have been seeing my doctor for just about 1 year for chronic pain. I have morning stiffness, headaches, joint swelling/stiffness, pain in joints, shoulder pain, back pain including lower back, my bones crack all day like I am just a skeleton. I concider myself somewhat healthy eat well have a 1 year old that I play with so I get lots of exercise.
My proplem is this:
There is no diagnosis! Doc says that I have ANA Blood but no R factor. I have had MRIs and Xrays done both showing arthritis in my joints, back, and tailbone. I live in pain all day everyday and tylonal and other otc dont work. I can’t take anti inflammatories because there really mess up my stomach. I was put on Ultram/tremadol for about 6 months. I told the doctor 3 times that they werent working that great and she said that is the only thing she can give me at this time since the rhuematoidalogist would be seeing me soon. Which by the way took 4 months to get into thuematoid office due to medical coverage. Well, I seen the rhuematoidalogist and he says that there isnt anything that he sees to shed any light on what is wrong with me. That was 2 months ago. Since then I started to take way to many ultram I was taking about 10-12 a day. I said to myself that that was rediculus so I talked to my doctor and sooo she puts me on Zannaflex, zoloft, and tylanol arthritis.
The zannaflex was one of the first meds she tried me on when I first started to see her. They didn’t work then nor do they help now. I am not really depressed so I don’t know why she puts me on zoloft. And I came into her office taking tylanol for my pain with no relief……I also have to say that before I seen her I was getting Vicodin from a friend. know that it is ilegal to take someone elses meds but with no insurance a new baby and in so much pain what does one do. I took 2-3 at the most a day with excellent relief. I never once abused them I never got "high" off from then. I told my doctor that I had been using them since I believe that you should tell your doc everything be upfront and honest. She looked at me like I was a criminal. And said "well, they probably worked to good and you will not get them here" So here I am over a year later with no answers to my condition being treated for depression and muscle pain with no relief. I have been nothing but honest with her. If I was out to get "Drugs" I would have been out of her office a long time ago . I just want help and don’t know what to do I feel she doesnt even try to listen to me….Oh she also checked me for Hepititis C 4 times because I am sleeved out with tattoos. And one more thing that she told me once when she first put me on Zannaflex I told her that I couldnt take a med that would make me tired because at that time my daughter was 6 months old and starting to pull up on everything….She looked at me and asks "Well do you have a Playpen?"

So, I am wondering what you all think I should do? I want a second opionion but I have no insurance and this doctor is covered through the state. But I have had so much lab work done xrays MRIs I just don’t want to go through it all over again. I am just lost on what I should do……

Sorry to write a misspelled book but I wanted to share all the details
the nurse did say something about Fybromyalgia yesterday when I talked with her….Also, My great grandma had Rhuematoid artritis as well as my great aunt…..I have all the signs and syptoms just my blood work says differant. Even the doctor thinks it is the on set of RA. I have had terrible problems with my wrist since I was around 12 years old just flared up in high geer since I gave birth..
