Last time I went to the GP, he suggested that I went to a physio. I called the University of Canberra clinic, which he suggested. They said they didn't bulk bill and that I could go to the student led clinic for cheaper. I went there yesterday. Then I realised that my health insurance would have covered my physio and made it even cheaper, but oh well.
The physio asked some questions about my pain and stiffness as well as testing some of my joints on my hands and wrists. He couldn't come up with much. He said that usually when people come they have specific injuries but mine hasn't gotten to the point where I have specific pain. It's usually more of a discomfort than a hurt now that my medicine is kicking in again.
He ended up giving me a few exercises and ideas that can help with the pain. They're mostly variations of what I've already been doing. Things like stretching my hands under hot water. Hopefully they'll help. He wants me to go back in two weeks, but it'll be a different physio because the students change. I'm not sure if I'll end up going back again or not.
