Dealing with Joint Pain in POTS

I have been using ktape, non weight bearing exercises, icing, heat, tylenol, and the only thing that is actually relieving my pain until my doctor's appointment is CBD. I do CBD lotion with lidocaine on low pain days, and CBD gummies on hard days. Very much helps and I don't experience negative side affects personally

I love kt tape i just get the Walmart version it’s pretty cheep and way more comfortable than braces

Currently I had to give in to medicine meloxicam and tinazadine (muscle relaxer and NSAID) it helps

I use ktape

Lots of ibuprofen and tylanol, braces if needed. But rice socks and ice packs/buckets don't hurt either

Braces for fingers/wrists/most joints can be helpful, making sure you're not too cold... cold joints are stiffer and more sore.. on that same thought, heat packs can be good for some relief, and encorporating them into a routije can help with longer term relief. Tiger balm can be good too. I hope any of these help you :)

That’s so weird your doctors are refusing care, I would continue to fight to get an appointment sooner or even look at a different doctor if possible. I use braces for every joint possible (wrists, ankles, knees, etc) along with CBD/lidocaine salve. I sparingly use NSAIDs because they can build resistance and also cause other issues (liver injury, stomach ulcers, etc). NSAIDs should really only be used on really bad days - I find Aleve and Ibuprofen work best for joint pain and inflammation. Compression stockings and garments can only help to an extent and help very little with joint inflammation. Overall, it’s important to find what works best for you. I really do hope you are able to get professional advice and help - it’s extremely unethical for a doctor to straight up refuse care.
