Hello to all,

I am a 38 yr old mother of 2 (21 & 16) and grandmother of 1, about 7 ro 8 months ago I began having problems getting out of bed standing/setting for long periods of time , lifting , stiffness and severe pain in all my joints and back. I went to the Dr. in Dec. at which time she gave me Meloxicam 15mg ix a day for 5 months and Methylprednisolone oral packfor 6 days. I went back to the Dr. last week because nothing had changed and the pain and lack of energy was taking over my life she ordered some blood test and prescribed 400mg Lodine 2x daily and Tramadol HCL 50mg 1 or 2 3x a day. I recieved my blood test results on Friday and was told everything is normal my question is how can they say I am normal when I feel the way I do because being in this much pain and not having the energy to do the simpliest task is not normal. I am angry at the fact that I have no idea what is wrong with me and I desperately need some answers . It is very depressing to live this way and all I want is to know the meaning for all this pain and fatigue I'm experiencing so any help or advice would be very much welcomed and appreciated.

Thank You for reading (sorry if it was long) and for any suggestions,
Leslie
