Joint Pain Medication

Hi! Thanks for taking the time to visit my journal. I’m new at this blogging thing so bear with me while I get settled in.

I guess the first thing I should probably do is introduce myself. My name is Frances Catalano and I have lived with daily pain since I was a teenager.

When I first started complaining of pain in my joints everyone said that it was just growing pains. Even my small town physician. Let me tell you, by that time I really wanted to stop growng if it was going to hurt so darned much! The advice was to take vitamins, drink more milk, and eat lots of bananas. When none of that helped and I still complained of the pain, I was told that it was a good thing because it meant that I was growing and I shouldn’t be so dramatic.

I did finally stop complaining about the joint pain because no one wanted to listen. Instead I was constantly sneaking Tylenol and Motrin to try and help. I was willing to try anything to relieve the pain I was in so that I could enjoy the sports and activities that all of my friends were involved in.

It wasn’t until I went away to college that I decided that I wasn’t just experiencing growing pains and I started trying to find a doctor who could tell me why I hurt so badly all the time.
