Down to 1 mg and flare up
It could be related to
arthritis
pain
. Continue on 1 mg and see how it goes. Then maybe you can reduce it even further. We all know how doctors have no understanding of this illness. So based on what I have read here I am going to go on 5 mg until I feel better and then start tapering off again.

Short term use of painkillers can lead to chronic pain
Seems like a kind of evil twin of homeopathic remedies. Treatment gives you more of what you're treating. Obviously if you already have the chronic pain you must take something to relieve it, but it does call into question what longterm use does in that case. Maybe helps explain why some of us end

More on bone pain
I suffer from digestive issues,
arthritis
, osteoporosis, worsening
pain
especially in my bones, and lifelong insomnia. It’s hard to know what the B12 deficiency was causing, symptom-wise so I am not sure how to measure uf Ian taking enough. I am nearly completely disabled.

Hi all Can anyone give me any advice, so after seeing a doctor for my 14 year old son for something unrelated in September 2021 we were told he has a heart murmur, we have been referred to a cardiologist but still waiting for the appointment.

repeat fractures
I was uncomfortable with back
pain
but blamed it on my
arthritis
and “getting old”. My rheumatologist wanted me to start Prolia but I decided I needed to find the cause since I’m the only one in my family with this issue.

Need Shoulder Replacement Surgery
My shoulder is destroyed from osteo arthritis and is painful 24/7. My surgeon won’t operate until I am “low enough” on prednisone. How low is low enough? I have been on prednisone for 17 months for PMR now down to 12.5 mg and tapering. I flared at 10.5 last taper. Advice?

Fibro and stabbing foot pain?
I've been recently diagnosed with fibro and also have inflammatory arthritis. Once in a while and out of the blue, I get these terrible stabbing pains on the outer side of my foot - it's excruciating, like being electrocuted or someone actually stabbing my foot with a knife. Sometimes it comes in two

Tips for shoulder and back pain after endo laparoscopy?
Hello, just joined here. I had a laparoscopy yesterday and had inflamed areas in my pelvis removed. The pain in my stomach I can deal with but since waking up I’ve had the most horrendous cramping and pain in my shoulders and neck. I’ve tried all painkillers, heat and cold. Any advice?

Fistula
Hi ladies, has anyone had a similar experience to me. I started 3rd line chemo carbo/ gemcitabine in mid April. Within 36 hours or so I started to have horrible abdominal pain. I went to A&E as advised by oncology helpline and they gave me pain killers. A week later I was admitted to hospital. CT scan

Covid Booster?
I’m currently on prednisone 10mg daily while I wait to see the rheumatologist for a probable diagnosis of Rheumatoid Arthritis. I’m eligible for the 4th Covid booster at this time. I’ve never been on prednisone so uncertain if it’s all ok with vaccines. I will ask my doctor but was curious what the opinions
