Dilli, Pauls9, Sasha, The Daddy, Nashville, LondonRoad and Tinky Thank You all so much
@ Tinky,
I'm wondering if the doctor you saw know's what he is doing !!!!,
yes your BP was better than you've said before so that must please you, as for him knowing you had 'no' pain or arthritis who did he think he was 'superman' with x-ray vision grrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrr, if he is new to the practise you use Please ask to see another Dr that would know your case better, and also a scan or a bone density scan would show arthritis as would an x-ray as my previous scan's have shown.
it must be so frustrating not knowing the cause of the pain, also may i ask what the cream was he prescribed ?? and may i suggest trying a TeNs machine to help with pain control so you do not need more medication.
