Do any of you suffer from chronic joint pain?

My OA has gotten worse since my thyroid started messing up.

I have another question....
I have hypothyroidism, high cholesterol, and am pre-diabetic.
Can a PCP take care of all this okay or do I need to see a specialist?
Who is the best at all of this juggling I need to do?

Well I am not an MD, but the goverment spends the money to send me to specialists every three to six months (or yearly for some other things), and I see my PCP every month. So I hope that kinda gives you an idea about how often you might want think about seeing docs.

I see my PCP every three months for bloodwork. My specialists I see about twice a year.

If you feel comfortable with that then I would think it should be ok.
