never heard of GCA
Non English ophthalmologist said she thought I had

If not Temporal Arteritis, what could it be?
For the past two days I have experienced flashes of pain in my left temple area and a tender scalp. It improves with paracetamol taken at regular intervals but at certain angles my head really hurts, albeit briefly. I’m pretty sure it’s not GCA because there are no vision or jaw involvement, but what

Over 50
I have been struggling withy weight for years. I started putting on weight when I started depression medication. Now I'm over 50 still battling obesity. Growing up I was very active,but that has decreased due arthritis and joint replacements. I'm starting a new year looking for support from others.

Stuff to Do Before Comprehensive Arthroscopic Shoulder Surgery
Hi all, I'm scheduling for aka Comprehensive Arthroscopic Shoulder Surgery (Rotator Cuff Repair, Subacromial Decompression, and Shoulder Tenotomy). Fun! I live alone.

Inflammatory arthritis & pulmonary embolisms?
After years of x-rays on multiple joints (looking for osteoarthritis) & countless blood tests (looking for rheumatoid factor) - all of which returned negative results - I was finally diagnosed with Seronegative Inflammatory Arthritis in January. My Rheumatologist first tried methotrexate and then leflunomide

rheumatoid arthritis
It’s been called arthritis but it’s not in joints but it’s a pain around my chest and back. X-ray and Ct scan have not reveal anything. GP says let’s try to control the pain first

Advice on back pain & pred dosing...
Morning, i joined this group a few months ago and find it so useful even though I don't have pmr.
