regularly. No rheumatologist will see anyone without labs that demonstrate you need him/her.

Nope, not enough. I sleep for maybe an hour.

Tylenol doesn't do a whole lot for arthritis

No arthritis here, but I would often wake w/shoulder pain until I started using

Talk to a rheumatologist. Arthritis gets thrown around like “chronic lyme’s”

You don’t need to see a rheumatologist to diagnose osteoarthritis

Likely true but osteoarthritis gets used a lot for things that aren’t.

I trust my doctor. I've had other shoulder issues in the last year.

Hahaha. You are absolutely correct. I was thinking of rheumatoid arthritis.
