Hello everyone. I'm almost 3 years out from RNY. I've over the past year developed painful joints. Mostly my hips, which were never painful before wls. It started becoming so frequent that I saw my primary in February and she ordered a MRI. However, it showed nothing wrong. Then about 4 months ago, I started getting pain in my elbows and thumb. Which I finally went to see a new doc for since I moved. Now they want me to see a rhuemy. I go Oct 16th. I was hoping that this board would educate me a bit about dealing with this after wls. Now I've always wished I'd gone DS now as I'm reading your posts...I'm really wishing I would have. LOL For pain management for now, I'm just taking loads of tylenol and using biofreeze to ease the pain.

So anyway...HELLO everyone.
