about 3 weeks before Christmas i started getting a lot of pain behind my knees, increased my naproxen and started on regular paracetamol with no effect. I saw the GP on tuesday and she gave me codeine...this also had no effect on the pain and I have been feeling so dizzy and lightheaded on it...went back to GP today and im going to try Tramadol...I cant wait to see the Rheumatologist. fingers crossed I can get an SOS appointment and soon...his secretary is off sick and there is no nurse specialist...so just got to wait until i speak to the secretary....I also start my new job on Monday so here's hoping my knees survive the day!!!
blur!!!: about 3 weeks before Christmas... - Scleroderma & Ray...
blur!!!
I tried all these with no positive effect but with negative effect. GP put me on Amitryptiline, small dose. It works on the centre in the brain. I still have pain but much more bearable. Go to the GP asap.
Hi I too like zenabb - tried but was even worse. Codeine did absolutely nothing for me. Good luck though.
double blur...been taking tramdol for 24hrs...I feel awful on it...like im totally spaced out....no more tramadol for me...fingers crossed i can get through to the rheumatologist to get this SOS appointment!!!
Hello, I have terrible knee pain and take Ibuprofen, which takes the edge off it and makes walking, with a slight limp possible. Saw the Rheumy on Thursday, who sent me for an Xray, which I know will show calcinosis, and he has referrred me for a cortisone injection. I also have a painful hip, same side, he seems to think that reducing the knee pain will sort out the hip pain. I am not a 100% convinced as I can feel my hip grating when I turn over in bed. But I will go along with him at the moment. Try to get it Xrayed at least. Best of luck.
thank you...ive been feeling spaced out all day...i feel awful!!! roll on bedtime!!!
