I had my second gold injection today...and ouch how blooming painful..I haven't much fat on my bottom and my leg went into a cramp...muscle spasms for couple of hours...I drove home sitting on my left bum cheek with tears in my eyes... I've had many injections in the past steroid injections self injected methotrexate...but never experience this painful jab..every week for 20 weeks..anyway on the more positive side hopefully these gold injections will work... Take care everyone pain in the bum Nicola x
Ouch and a bigger ouch :(: I had my second gold... - NRAS
Ouch and a bigger ouch :(
Hello Nicola,
I had Gold injections for a good while and I know that they really, really do hurt! Even if, like me, you are well padded in the rear! It's cos they are deep intramuscular injections apparently - also if your doc is anything like mine, they just use them straight from the fridge so the liquid is really thick and cold which I'm sure makes it hurt even more. That said, the Gold really did help me (alongside a couple of other DMARDS) so hope it will help you too - and that next time round you won't get the awful spasms (I was fortunate never to experience that).
