I Am Tired of Having to Explain My Pain and Need of Pain Meds

How many people are in the same boat as me. I've been dealing with Rheumatoid arthritis since 2005. Unfortunately, the last few years this condition has gotten worse. I'm on strong pain meds but the DEA & CDC believe that my condition is not painful. There's is days I can't get out of bed. Cant sleep because Everytime I move it wakes me up. Not sure if anyone has been in the same shoes. Would do anything to be able to get up and go to sleep without any pain.
my right ankle. Hope everyone has a wonderful Tuesday

My fatherinlaw has arthritis and I've noticed that whenever he soaks his feet in warm salt water before going to sleep for 20 mins, he has no pain that night.

@Vivaci I'm going to have to try that. Hate when I swell up and I'm screwws. Will try that out and see how it works out
@McShay1978 👍 All the best.. I really hope it works for you too!! Also make sure it's the last thing you do before bed... Just step out of the water, and dry your feet and immediately cover it with your quilt/rug.

@Vivaci thank you. Hate that I swell up so damn bad. Today I couldn't move at all. Finally moving now. Just want to sleep bc it wears you down. Hope you have a wonderful Wednesday & thank you for the advice.
