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. I've arranged for cleaning, for grocery and food delivery, for errand running. I will try to schedule physical therapy and gather meds

I have used a walking aid for around 4 months but realistically I could have , should used one wayyyy before that, but was embarrassed too. My Rheumatology

crazy or not?
I am in chronic pain in spine painkillers not helping. What I need help with is the way it all makes me feel I have no ffamily or friends . Isolated. I get panicky when pain is out of control, I feel freaked out and alone and am devoid of positive feelings everything everyday feels bleak no respite

I know Nitrous Oxide can cause b12 deficiency, but could Nitrogen Dioxide do it too?
I had low b12, took ppi and h2 before Mt body crashed. But I also realised that we did an experiment in the labs I was working in, when my body began to feel awful, around the time I started PPIs (before my body totally crashed months later) I know Nitrous Oxide messes with b12... Does anyone know

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. I do have tertiary adrenal insufficiency, ulcerative colitis, osteoarthritis and fibromyalgia and possibly pots. In the last 2 years after having covid twice I developed cushing symptom due to over replacement

I have recently been diagnosed as having RRMS. I have only had 2 relapses in the past year, both of which involved temporary loss of eyesight. On both occasions, my vision returned to normal by itself, without any need or medication to be prescribed. However, my most recent MRI contrast scan shows that

I have an agonizing pain in the back right and under part of my Left heel, often occurs in bed and for no memorable reason, also on my right thigh/hip area is a patch that feels quite numb to touch But inside it feels like a firework is burning. Are these pains due to the back stenosis?. I was referred

I’m back😁. Used to be Dtech.
So off to GPs, saw a nurse, sent me for x-Ray, came back; mild osteo
arthritis
, no further action! Errrm no, I’m still in
pain
etc back to Drs. Saw a Dr, well would you like stronger painkillers? Would that cure my hip?? Err no! Right so can we find out what’s causing the pain please.

Have I got RA ?
Hi I have been taking Prednisolone for PMR for 18 months and now on 5mg each morning under the care of a Rhuematologist . I have had Osteoarthritis for a good few years mainly in my finger joints . My Dr is now questioning if I have RA because my middle finger on the right hand is markedly more swollen
