All he put me on was 500 mg of naproxin twice a day. I tolerated it fine but after a month I didn't see any difference in my symptoms so I am not taking it anymore. I don't want to stress out my tummy.
Based on the x-rays and bloodwork the Rheumy says I have inflammatory osteoarthritis. There is really nothing they can do for it. No medication that will stop the progression of osteoarthritis.
I have another appointment in Sept. and was told to call if my symptoms got worse. So far things seems to be staying pretty much the same. Frustrating to deal with that is for sure.
