Hi @hgraham1987,
I agree with Rebecca. It's certainly normal to worry about our health, especially when new symptoms arise. I think reaching out to your doctor's is a good action plan and is certainly favorable to making an internet diagnosis! To be a good advocate for yourself, I think it's important to reach out to your healthcare team, ask lots of questions, and make sure you get the answers you're searching for, even if those answers don't come quickly. I wish you the best and hope you find some relief to this new pain and some answers! -Jessica (community moderator)
Hi @Hgraham1987 - it's normal to worry about our health, especially just after diagnosis. There are so many things running through our heads. I hope that the pain you are feeling is nothing to worry about and that your rheumy is able to ease your mind. Reaching out to your physicians is normal when you are noticing a change in health. I wouldn't give up on contacting them should a symptom arise and you are anxious about it. Hoping you take a moment and ice the area hopefully you find relief from the pain. We are here to support you and hope that you find relief from the uneasiness. Rebecca (community moderator)
