Update on hip drama!

Damaged profile image
6 Replies

My Rheumatologist has ordered an urgent MRI of my spine. She feels it could be referred pain. She also asked me to see GP but he is not available until the 10th so I will be seeing another GP in his clinic. To be honest , I prefer that anyway. So still in pain . One surprise has been that the headaches have not returned despite going back on Xeljanz. Yahoo something positive!

Good you are being looked at.

Your user name makes me feel sad. I don't like to think of you as damaged :-(

I hope everything is sorted soon.:-D

I have a dry sense of humour lol but the reference was to my finances not my body. It just seemed appropriate so I kept it. I am optimistic, I will win a lottery! Soon , I hope 😜

Sounds a little bit of progress, but you still need to be able to control the pain!

My headaches stopped after I had a week's break from baricitinib, which is a JAK Inhibitor like xeljanz.

Olumiant. At least that's the name on the packet.

Not what you're looking for?
