BURSITIS
I have had an x-ray for hip
pain
and told I have
arthritis
in both hips and lower back but according to a physiotherapist the extreme pain I am experiencing, particularly laying in bed at night, is bursitis. Any tips and hints for managing this pain would be greatly appreciated.

Hi, has anyone elected to stop Methotrixate due to the side effects and inconclusive RA diagnosis. Decided to stop as side effects outweigh benefits! Has anyone then moved on to controlling inflammation with alternatives like turmeric, devils claw or Chinese remedies. There has to be an alternative

Just Want To Feel Better...
I've had rheumatoid
arthritis
since 2013 but rheumatology say the
pain
isn't due to my RA He advised me to go back on antidepressants (I came off them in March 2022) tried them again in October but had a scarey reaction to them (tremors) The question I'm trying to ask is are there any meds that treat

Day 12th after cut. Improvment
Today is my first night that I slept well, my mood is over the moon now ;) . Had lots of erections but they were pretty mild with pain. I stopped taking pain killers on day 8th as kinda didn't wanted to trash my liver. I hope that from now on each day will be just improvment without any complication

Prolia
I have been advised to start with Prolia injections. I have osteoarthritist, rheumatoid arthritis, chronic kidney disease and lupus. Is there anyone who can tell me what to expect?

Wife's hip replacement
Wifey needs a new hip, something that at different ages, the recovery can be different, on other people. She's having it done privately, and info so far suggests in and out-same day. Would this be right. She will be sore after, so presume she'll be dosed up with painkillers. So, when does the pain

Hi First post on here and Not really sure where to start! So I suppose hello 👋! So my story……back in May 2020 I woke with a massive headache one that you know is not normal and one I had never suffered from before! I took pain killers and nothing touched the sides of it. As we were on the middle

Fractures, daily painkillers continuous
For those that have had fractures in the spine, and are now on daily painkillers or daily medication, what do you take and who do you do on it? I started fracturing 6 years ago and think i have just fractured again (x ray just taken), in agony with what I assume is muscle spasms getting in and out of

Life with fractures, help in the UK
I am in the UK and, at the moment, I am overwhelmed with pain from what I believe is another fracture. I started fracturing 6 years ago and dont feel that I am under anyone in particular who can help with day to day living etc. So far we have spent out on a chairlift (£5000) and an adjustable bed

Sore Throat
I have a sore throat right at the base of my throat where my thyroid is. It’s particularly sore in the night. Could it be my thyroid or just a random sore throat? My tonsils and throat area are slightly red, but nothing major. My current dose is T4 100mcg and T3 18.75. What can I do about it? Painkillers

How to persuade GP?
I have an appointment with my GP soon and I'm planning to ask for a referral to a rheumatologist - how to I get her to refer me? I saw her previously and focused on my most problematic area, my spine. The x-ray apparently indicates wear and tear arthritis but symptomatically I don't fit that diagnosis
