I can empathise with anyone suffering with Fibromyalgia or Chronic Arthritis because if you haven't experienced it, then people don't understand

Leg Pain
Hi all, not sure which group,to seek information from. I also belong to the arthritis group. Just to say the physio diagnosed arthritis nearly 6 weeks ago when things were not so bad. I have followed her exercises daily. All that’s happened is the pain is worse and the most awful pins and needles

Fibro
Hi I asked my doctor if I had fibro and his answer was do you want another diagnosis adding to your medical record. And all my pain is because I'm getting old. But I won't accept that. I have lymphondema in both legs osteoarthritis in both knees in top of neck and dics degenerative disease in spine

Polymyalgia and Rheumatoid arthritis
I was diagnosed with PMR in June 2014. Over a period of about 7 years I managed to come off prednisone but after a time the PMR returned. Since 2022 I have managed to get down to 7mg daily and then have a flare. Back to 10 down to 8 and another flare. I live in France and it seems PMR is not as common

Tapering
Just a quick question about tapering Prednisolone. I have had GCA since Aug 22. Have tapered down to 5mg but had the beginnings of a flare. My rheumatologist told me to go up to 7.5mg. The flare abated. I then got an infection/virus and on the advice of the rheumatology nurses increased to 10mg for a

Joint Steroid Injection
Hi,Im due to have a Steroid Injection in my knee to hopefully relieve the symptoms of Osteoarthritis. Which is very painful most of the time, and can be very debilitating. Just Wondering if anyone has had this done and knows how long it lasts before wearing off? Do they work? Are they worth having done
