PMR becomes RA

Pain - where my pain comes from!
(I had a fraction of inflammation) I said to the specialist one day, why am I in so much
pain
, yet no inflammation in my joints, (common with psoriatic
arthritis
, happens in different joints across the body) this is where the
pain
normally occurs.

Taper 5.5 to 5 with a little pain. Continue?
I also have the return of the
arthritis
pain
in my hand, which I had before but I understand that the Pred is no longer cushioning that so that's okay. I also have been experiencing fatigue but that's understandable too with the taper. Started on Pred July 2021. Down from 20 mg to 5.5 now.

doxycycline and reduction of arthritis symptoms
Though the tablets upset my stomach badly, after week 2 I noticed my
arthritis
had all but disappeared. Usual routine of waking up in
pain
, taking Prednisolone 10mgs then waiting an hour or two for the
pain
to subside has gone.

osteoporosis pain medication
Hi. I am suffering terribly with back pain recently and I don’t get on well with pain meds however even I know I can’t function like this it’s agony. The gp offered me codeine morphine etc but I can’t touch those or ibuprofen style medicine so I was wondering if anyone has been prescribed alternatives

Latent arthritis or PMR
I have had PMR for five years, with classic shoulder and hip symptoms, initially and during flares. Never been able to get lower than 8.5mg Pred until this year. Now down to 6mg. Always slow taper - max 0.5 per month. Over the last month or so I have had increasing arthritis in hands. It is quite

How long does it take to get pain relief once on medication?
Reaching out for advice. I had a MINOCA first week of September. Since discharge from hospital I have still experienced fluctuating chest, arm and rib pain, breathlessness with light exertion and severe head pressure. First trip to hospital resulted in prescription for diltiazem hydrochloride.

Having two contraceptions
Hi, I'm about to get the Mirena coil but I'm currently on the depo injection. I was wondering if it's ok to be on two contraceptions at once? I'm thinking it might help with the transition and pain as I'm really struggling to get strong enough pain killers from my GP. They have prescribed mefenamic

Obstructive defecation anyone ?
So, I've been referred for an anal manometry and and endo anal ultrasound. A digital rectal exam is painful enough so I'm wondering whether these are too? Anyone had one??

Painkillers for nerve pain / side effects
I am a 71 yo male with PAF / exercise induced AF, which doesn’t overly affect me too much. I am fairly active and a regular cyclist. Recently I have been suffering with a trapped > irritated Femoral Nerve in my Left leg. This is quite painful at times and keeps me awake at night. I have been attending

constant Endo pain ruining my life
I’ve been awake since 12:00am couldn’t take painkillers until 2:30am .. constant pain I don’t know how much more I can endure. This is not normal, I’ve lived with this for 15 years worst it’s ever been. Can’t get in to see consultant. naproxen 4x a day with paracetamol as a pain killer is now not lasting

Barrett's Syndrome
I was wondering if anybody had developed this syndrome after taking heart drugs (particularly Aspirin, Clopidogrel and similar) and/or painkillers like Naproxen? Also were you taking a PPI like Omeprazole or Lansoprazole at the same time? P.S. Predictive text suggested the Capri Grill for Clopidogrel

AF with bad ankle and back therefore problems exercising.
I have a permanently swollen outer left ankle (scan says damage and
arthritis
) often have a
pain
in the left buttock relating to spinal cavity being reduced with spurs on. This means that I have problems walking any distance, increasing problems with golf even with a buggy.

Leg pain and Taxol
I'm on 3 weekly taxol with 1 week off and this is my week off and I'm still feeling absolutely awful. Not helped by the fact I've got really bad catarrah and a cough. Last night i woke up with horrible nerve pains in my legs. The pain was awful to the point I didnt know what to do with myself. Co-codamol
