Hiya,

volteren is quite an abrasive nsaid, so watch your gastro as well, for you to be in that much pain still might be better if you ask for a proper pain killer like tramadol, or parecetomol and codeine so you can stay functional, get some respite and for sleeping.

Heating yourslef and hot baths can be very helpful..........

Hang on in their get to your rheummy as soon as you can! best wishes
