Hi wrangler , love the photo . Sometimes you can be quite sore for a number of days after s steroid injection, and can then take a few weeks for it to work . I hope it starts to kick in soon and that it makes a difference . Im at hospital next Friday, hopefully im getting an injection in my sacroiliac joint. Best wishes xx

Hi and welcome to the mad house, was it your gp who diagnosed your fibromyalgia? I ask this because you need to have fibromyalgia in all Quarters of your body and can't just have it in the one place, maybe ask your GP for a referral to a Rhuemetologist as they do know what they are looking for.

Enjoy your stay here because there are lots of lovely people who I'm sure will do thier best to help you.

Hi wrangler

Sorry to hear that your steroid injections has not kicked in yet. You can sometimes feel a little worse in the beginning and it can take up to a couple of weeks for it to work. I have had a lot of steroid injections and 9 times out of 10 they work for me but everyone is different. I truly hope that that they work for you soon.

Lovely picture of you.

Take good care of yourself and sending you lots off warm hugs 🤗🤗🤗🌸🌹🌷🌺xxxx
