Why Do Doctors Fob Us Off Its Just Arthritis And Gets Worse With Age

My Doctor is very nice but just gives exercise papers to stretch the body .
It seems there only advice at the moment is to give papers out because of Covid can't go to appointments or physio

I got the same treatment until I went to an Orthopedic Dr. who diagnosed AS! I also have ADD, Fibromyalgia w/a lot of fog… and arthritis in several areas. (And a few other issues including COPD). Exercising is very difficult but I am active most days. All previous docs tossed it all into the Fibro basket & did nothing! I’m so glad I found this dr. Next visit will be for a permanent Nerve Block. I’m hoping it helps!! He also prescribed Meloxicam & Cyclobenzaprine which are helping some. Hope this info helps…🤗
