Hello doctor, I am a 26 year old female. My height is 5'1" and I weigh 53 Kg. I have had pain in all joints. I also experience pain in the spine between shoulders and down to my tailbone since 2010, on and off. I have finally seen a rheumatologist. The doctor said I have scoliosis, minor spondyloarthritis and hypermobility. She gave me Sulfazine that did not work and instead I developed nausea. Hopefully in a month, I can start taking an injection which the doctor told will only help with the arthritis pain. I was also told that I need to learn to live with pain and nothing can be done about the pain related to the other disorders. The doctor also asked me to keep taking Ibuprofen. Is there nothing that can be done about the pain from scoliosis and hypermobility? Do I need to learn to live with pain that restricts me from doing any physical work (even cooking and cleaning)?
Hi. Hope this helps and revert back to a rheumatologist online for further follow up -->
