Steroid Injection
Hi All, I'm feeling very confused after my last Rheumatology appointment. I first saw the Rheumatologist in February and was diagnosed Sjorgen's and possible PMR. I was put on 15mg prednisolone and had managed to taper to 13mg. I saw a different rheumatologist at my appt this week who threw me a complete

Maybe not PMR update 5 years on
Good morning after 5 years next month on steroids with a PMR diagnosis I am headed down a different treatment path. I spoke to a musculoskeletal specialist in UK who questioned if I had ever had PMR due to my original diagnosis blood test showing a CRP result of 6 and an ESR of 1, whilst acknowledging

Follow up to initial appt
Hi all, I had my initial appt with rheumatologist 19th April, who diagnosed seronegative inflammatory arthritis. He gave me a steroid injection, which does seem to have lessened the swelling a bit, but still stiff and in pain. But I have yet to receive a follow up letter summarising the appt and findings

Pain Relief
I have posted before regarding Scleroderma and Raynauds and the problems which relate to this. I have osteoarthritis in my knees and they are so very painful. I was coping with the help of steroid injections, paracetamol and Ibuprofen however steroid injections are now limited with less relief and

Angina and arthritis pain.
I have had for many years ischeamic heart disease (7 stents) damaged area of heart muscle due to two heart attacks back in 2014 plus AF. I also suffer with osteoarthritis in various joints the latest most recent in my right hip. This is constantly giving me severe pain that pain killers won't touch.

Steroid injection and surgery
Hi all , I'm just wondering if anyone knows how long you have to wait after steroid injection in the bottom before having gallbladder removal I've been told operation will be in 2 to 3 mths unless a cancellation comes in. But a friend said I'll have to wait 3mths now

Hello. Following my recent post about my dry eyes, I had my follow-up appointment on Monday nearly 4 months post right trabeculectomy & it did not go well. Had a visual field test and eye scan. No change to my right eye but my left eye continues to lose peripheral vision. The pressure was elevated even

Tinnitus and Meniere's
Has anyone ever received Intratympanic steroid injection in their ear(s) for Tinnitus or Meniere's? I was just curious if it was worth it and made matters better. Is the injection painful or create other issues? My ENT has recommended it for my left ear which has a variety of issues. Thanks.

Finally a little light!
Many of you have been kind in giving me advice and support over the last year, especially when I was 'wading through treacle'. A few weeks ago I had another steroid injection and leflunomide added to my MTX. I hardly dare say this but I'm actually starting to feel better. My joints have gone down so
