JSA but feel i should be on ESA

Seen a new physio and being sent to see a new pain specialist as things just get weirder for me pain wise. Sharp pains in ribs/chest area that come and go. Pain that moves around the body can be in one area for a few seconds to a min or 2 then goes. Along with all my usual aches and pains.

Seriously struggle to explain pain when i see a doc / specialist so keeping a diary. On Amatriptaline again which has helped with sharp pains going down shins and feet. Personally having a answer/diagnosis would help me come to terms with things as when just chronic pain it carries no weight when trying to explain why you can do stuff some days and not others. Warmer weather has always helped me in general less tired and in the past got away with less meds but at present im taking more meds than i can shake a stick at. Still struggling to find jobs to apply for as i want part time local to me as not worth doing as i am lucky enough to live out in the sticks.

See the pain specialist and he links my pain to depression. Instead of having a melt down im in pain. Seems very odd and im not convinced but will see what happens as im having more tests to rule out certain things and they will change my meds around. Here is hoping i get on top of it.

I no i suffer a bit with depression but was a shock to here him say what he did.
