2nd appointment with rheumy.....

[shirlthegirl]

Hiya just a quick couple of questions, I have my second appointment with my rheumy on Wednesday, As i have mention that the MTX hasn't been working very well for me so i know i will have to discuss my Meds, Do you know if they will do X-rays again, Also i have A big dent in one side of my buttocks where i had my steroid injections :((((( , I think it could be to do with them, could i be right? Has anyone else had this before? It does also feel a bit bruised, the last one i had in my buttocks was in January and i just noticed, what am i like,xxxxx

Hi Shirley the dent in your btm is a known side effect of the steroid injection, I was given thiss info before I had each of my jabs, Good luck and let us know how you go on.

take care cris xx

Unlikely to do x-rays again so soon. It's usually no more than once a year. Hope goes well. Polly

Good luck with the appointment, take loads of questions with you, and yep I have dents !! As Polly says they only do X-rays once a year. axx

Thanks Allanah, It is not lots of little ones, it is one big one it looks like a big fat scar, It is properly because they put the injection in the same area all the time, Thanks again XXX

[allanah in reply to shirlthegirl]

Oh! Well tell them to put it in a different cheek next time, butt cheek that is ! They should change the injection area, but as they give so many injections each day you will need to tell them which one is due xxxxxxxx
