Hi hoping from some help from you lovely mnetters as I really dont know where to go next. Little bit background, I was diagnosed with systemic sclerosis last year I have a rheumatologist and im currently taking methotrexate and various painkillers. I have horrific back pain on waking so bad it wakes me up. It goes straight across the centre middle of my back and radiates around to the front of my rib cage. It hurts to breathe and the pain regularly has me in tears. The pain eases if I get up and move around and settles to a dull ache. My gp says he knowd nothing about my condition and I need to speak to my rheumatologist. My rheumatologist says its not part of my condition and thats it. My husband wants me to go back to the gp but is there any point?I really dont know what to do next. Oh just to mention I also have some RA in my hands too. Thanks so much in advance guys
