Since being diagnosed with PMR last October I have really gone down hill.
PMR is enough to contend with, the, two months ago I was told I needed two new hips, one urgently.no chance whilst still on 10m.g. Thursday I began to feel really unwell, with cramping pains in my stomach, I was also passing blood clots. Saw G.P , new medication again..it is now. Saturday and I am no better.
I wonder what else PMR will throw at me?
Needed to have a grumble....
Hi - re your hips, please don't give up on the idea of replacements because of your pred dose. I was told no operation till below 10mg (I was on 15 at the time) but after I got down to 12 he said ok! You can always look for another surgeon, as well. Good luck!
Venezia is quite right - if you need a new hip, 10mg of pred is NOT a contraindication as far as some surgeons are concerned, Shop around. If nothing else, try writing to various orthopaedic surgeons and ask their advice.
The gut problem sounds more of a problem to me!
Get well soon!
Gut problem is a worry to me too.....
I had foot surgery on 12mg of Pred. Dr;s not keen because you may take longer to heal but if they know about it they should be able to accommodate it.
I was on 20mg when I fell and shattered my hip and had to have a partial hip replacement, we were told at 78 it could be dangerous but was necessary. I had no problems. You will be fine. Best of luck.
