When the drugs don’t work
Various
steroid
injections
have failed. The local pain management team conducted a couple of procedures on her knee using cryotherapy and radio therapy, but none have offered any relief. The pain killers don’t work, and what little quality of life she has is rapidly deteriorating.

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

Hi Everyone, Tapered off Pred in Jan24 after being diagnosed with PMR May 18. . I had my routine Rheumie appointment 2 weeks ago which was with a Registrar for the first time. I told him I had increasing neck, shoulders and wrist, hand pain for the past few weeks especially bad upon waking. He told

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.

vita health group physio? & Simponi question
Hi I have ankylosing spondylitis and inject 100ml of Simponi every 4 weeks, I just had MOHs surgery for skin cancer on my nose. I got an infection so this messed up my injections, did my injection then injected again 3 weeks later as pain was horrific. I have knee problems and went to rheumatology

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

Puzzled
I went for a Rheumatology appointment yesterday as I’d had to stop Etanercept for the 2nd time due to tonsillitis, itchy rash sore eyes, blurred vision etc. I saw a nurse practitioner who said I didn’t need a steroid injection and because and I have another appointment with my new Consultant in November

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

Is a massage ok with PMR etc?
I have PMR (on 5mg currently) and also have pain on walking caused by spinal stenosis/ degeneration of lumbar spine and left hip etc. I also had a steroid injection a while back for bursitis in my right hip. My daughter would like to give me a massage as a Mothers’s Day gift and I’d love to have one

first orthotics
disappointed. The podiatrist hardly looked at the foot and spent most of the appointment typing then without any measurements or gait test said he’s ordered me a pair that would arrive by post in the fullness of time. I suspect these will be no better than the well known brand I ordered online and
