Well after speaking with physio this morning and after her advice I think my running days are a long way away as like she and others have said running is not the best for osteoarthritis in the knee, she said cos I have had the cortisone injection that is is stopping the pain but it don't last forever

9 weeks post op, still pain on one side, dark shade around kidney? Also new endometrioma found 😔
So at 6 weeks I posted about pain to one side, I was finally send to SAU yesterday for bloods and an ultrasound, my back is so tender to touch and they have found a dark spot in my kidney area? They don't know what it is but sent me home with a lot of pain killers and the promise of a CT scan to take

Myasthenia and RA
I have Myasthenia Gravis, and am tapering off Prednisone. Since I went down from 5mg to 2.5 g I am suffering symptoms of rheumatoid arthritis . It's severe.The doctor has me on naproxen. It's not helping at all. Anyone else experience this? thanks. Ian

NHS Attitudes on Worth of Life
My deep apologies to everyone for this post but I think it’s going to be a long one. Partly about PA and partly on NHS attitudes I am encountering about the worth of life. Warning for sensitive members, this post might be shocking. So you will know me through my posts regarding seizures and both neurological

Life insurance ??
Good afternoon, lovely sunny Sunday here in Norfolk? 🌞So my partner and I have finally moved, but I'm struggling with getting anyone to accept me for life insurance to cover my mortgage as I have RA and have had lung surgery?.... Has anyone else had this happen, or know of any companies that would provide

Back pain, still no answer
I received my results from some of the blood work I had done. I’m still trying to figure out why I have such excruciating back pain. So far, I have no answer. I usually don’t get relief from the pain pills better than a 6 on the scale of 1-10. I have to wait until I get a little relief to be able to

Knee injury - sigh.
Started my running journey around five years ago and I've been going through a real purple patch recently as have clocked up two personal bests for the 5k and have generally been running faster and at a consistent pace (always conversational - I checked that by muttering to myself every so often!).

RF, RA, Rayos & Pain
I had a great first visit with my rheumatologist this week. She was validating and knowledgeable and respectful. She is also pretty confident I have RA (tons of tests ordered and I go back in a couple of weeks). Two things: (1) my original labs that got me referred to a rheumatologist showed a rheumatoid

Common Symptoms.
I find it helpful when someone posts or replies with a symptom not included in the medical field's list that I do experience. Often with the comment I used to have this symptom prior to treatment. When Trigeminal neuralgia was mentioned a light went on for me and it was helpful to have a name for what

Endo to end all Endo!!!
I had a bad turn today, i was busy watching tv, when i had the most horrid griping hot poker in my left groin pain. It made me gasp, so i took a painkiller. Does anyone take anything else for it?. Is there a better painkiller than co-codamol. I've just had another pain as i type. Why won't it leave

Do I still have Endometriosis?
This probably sounds bizarre and silly but I'm struggling with the concept that my endometriosis is back or never went away in the first place. I had excision surgery back in 2021 and was it success. Doctor said he got rid of it all and he wouldn't see me again. I took this to mean I had Endometriosis

Hot flashes?
Am having ever more hot flashes and sweating around my neck over last several months. Could it be the steroids? In the distant past, was relying on welbutrin for depression but got hot flashes and changed to escatolepram. In the last few years I started taking a small dose of welbutrin in addition

Can you 'demand' Tocilizumab for GCA?
I was diagnosed with PMR in January 23, responded well to steroids (15mg) but quickly developed GCA symptoms (severe headache pain, blurred vision and jaw claudication) when these were reduced to 12.5mg after 3 weeks and 'normal' CRP/ESR tests. I was referred to Ambulatory care but an ultrasound showed

Hi I'm suffering with aches and pains daily .....doctors refuse to say I have fibromialgia I've even seen a specialist which told me I don't because I didn't have any pain when she lifted my leg that was all she did to come to that conclusion.
