How To Get Rid Of Arthritis Pain?

Hello, I just moved from Calif. to Boulder City Nevada and need to find a Rheumatologist, for my Arthritis From head to toe. In addition to Celebrex, Elavil, and Vicodin for pain, My Dr. in Calif no longer will give me any pain meds after I have taken them for over 15 years. I never abused them took only when needed, but she will not refill any more of them and I just saw her 6 mos ago. I am having a really rough tough time dealing with the pain. Can you help me? Thankyou, Barbara Runnels.

Dear patient
If you are suffering from rheumatoid arthritis newer and better drugs are available in market which not only provides pain relief but also reversed the deformity. There drugs are known as disease modifying anti rheumatoid arthritis agents such as eternacept and anakinra. This are costly and limited availability but very effective. Once you start them requirement of pain killers will decrease. You need to consult expert rheumatologist in your area and get yourself examined and investigated. All the best.
