Is Chronic pain normal even when you’re on a biologic???

[RichDC]

Hi all, been on Cimzia several years but been recently having lots of left sacroiliac pain, shoulder pain, elbow pain. My rheumatologist says no signs of inflammation in my blood tests but I’m wondering is this much inflammation and constant pain normal? Should I push to change biologic? Any help deeply appreciated— The constant pain is getting to me!

Chronic pain can happen sometimes doesn’t matter what you are taking sadly. Up to twenty per cent of people do not show inflammation in blood tests for some unknown reason. Have you ever shown inflammation?

Hi Piglette, thanks for this; I’ll pursue the blood not showing thing with my doc.
