Rheumatologist? Perhaps you should be looking for pain management? In an effort to control opioids, the most effective pain killers, I think they can only write prescriptions for a month supply. You do not say if your mother lives with you and is mobile enough to go to a doctor on a regular basis. Or, if people will be stealing her drugs.

I have recently joined pain management due to fact my Rheumatologist would not write pain relief. Was put on Hydrocodone 5mg every 8 hours and truly saved me from a world of pain. Also after having major issues with reactions to Rheumatoid drugs transferred to Rheumatologist at Shands Hosp in Gainsville. My agony is now over with new Rheumatologist

Best of luck finding someone. I've heard there are a couple in Ocala that are good....but remember if she needs hospitalization ever, with her issues she'd have to go up there. Plus how would she get up there for her app'ts, unless she lives with you. Does she have a primary here?? Maybe start there and that person can help you. I see Dr.Sullivan in the Specialty Clinic but have heard she's not taking new patients. I was diagnosed in 2011 after suffering for a handful of years. I've gone the route with pain management but they do steroid shots and they didn't work long term for me. I'm currently on Methotrexate and hydroxychloroquine. I can't take nsaids so she has me on a muscle relaxant when pain comes along with acetametaphine. I've done the prednisone thing but long term wouldn't want to do it.
