Knee injury - sigh.
Started my running journey around five years ago and I've been going through a real purple patch recently as have clocked up two personal bests for the 5k and have generally been running faster and at a consistent pace (always conversational - I checked that by muttering to myself every so often!).

Pessary
I recently had a gellhorn pessary fitted at the hospital pessary clinic. While it’s stopped the symptoms of cystocele I now get little stinging sensations and a dull lower stomach ache. In the last few days the ache has spread to my groin areas. I’m wondering if anyone else has had these symptoms or

Common Symptoms.
I find it helpful when someone posts or replies with a symptom not included in the medical field's list that I do experience. Often with the comment I used to have this symptom prior to treatment. When Trigeminal neuralgia was mentioned a light went on for me and it was helpful to have a name for what

Endo to end all Endo!!!
I had a bad turn today, i was busy watching tv, when i had the most horrid griping hot poker in my left groin pain. It made me gasp, so i took a painkiller. Does anyone take anything else for it?. Is there a better painkiller than co-codamol. I've just had another pain as i type. Why won't it leave

Do I still have Endometriosis?
This probably sounds bizarre and silly but I'm struggling with the concept that my endometriosis is back or never went away in the first place. I had excision surgery back in 2021 and was it success. Doctor said he got rid of it all and he wouldn't see me again. I took this to mean I had Endometriosis

Life insurance ??
Good afternoon, lovely sunny Sunday here in Norfolk? 🌞So my partner and I have finally moved, but I'm struggling with getting anyone to accept me for life insurance to cover my mortgage as I have RA and have had lung surgery?.... Has anyone else had this happen, or know of any companies that would provide

Hot flashes?
Am having ever more hot flashes and sweating around my neck over last several months. Could it be the steroids? In the distant past, was relying on welbutrin for depression but got hot flashes and changed to escatolepram. In the last few years I started taking a small dose of welbutrin in addition

Can you 'demand' Tocilizumab for GCA?
I was diagnosed with PMR in January 23, responded well to steroids (15mg) but quickly developed GCA symptoms (severe headache pain, blurred vision and jaw claudication) when these were reduced to 12.5mg after 3 weeks and 'normal' CRP/ESR tests. I was referred to Ambulatory care but an ultrasound showed

My PMR Journey so far
The condition started with a stiff neck and in early February I experienced a lot of pain in my upper arms, a great deal of stiffness and loss of energy and strength. It took a few weeks to get to see a GP and initially he only prescribed painkillers. I eventually got Prednisone prescribed after a second

Update
I had an rheumatologist appointment 8 February which was thorough and resulted in a plan of action. It took until the next morning to process it all but it’s encouraging that action is being taken. My pred was increased to 30 for 2 weeks and then will slowly be reduced. A booster steroid injection that

Tocilizumab
Hi. Has anyone had Tocilizumab injections for pmr? I've been looking at recent research which seems to suggest favourable outcomes for pmr sufferers who have problems tapering prednisolone.
