Differing Rheumatologist opinions and Alendronic Acid
I am a bit befuddled so thought I would turn to The Oracle. Apologies for the epistle. I have been in gradually increasing pain (the air has become blue) in my groin, right hip and leg since July. I increased my Pred from 5 mg to 10 mg but it had no effect. My doctor (from a telephone conversation

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.

Sacrum tumor
Anyone have experience with a Sacrum tumor? Onc. wants to do a needle biopsy, then radiation but reading up on this, IF it shows a Chordoma, radiation is only done AFTER surgery and a surgical team should be standing by ready to go if it is a chordoma as the needle will spread it immediately and it's

Asking a question on behalf of my Mum with regards to a hysterectomy. Ladies who have had it what did you keep?
My mum is 51 has always suffered with extremely heavy periods and as she has gotten older this has gotten significantly worse. After being put on iron tablets and tranexamic acid by the GP with not much relief she was referred to a gynaecologist. The gynaecologist examined her and said her uterus

imuran
I have been on Imuran 50mg for over 3 years and will be on it another 2 for autoimmune hepatitis. I also have PBC and take ursodiol for that. Imuran has lowered my liver levels and has kept them stable for me. It suppresses your immune system but it’s manageable. My dr is hoping that after being on it

should I be concerned about skincare products while pregnant?
I’m 11 weeks pregnant and have been using my usual skincare products. They are over the counter and geared towards acne so have salicylic acid. My doctor said to send a list of the ingredients which I did and she’s responded to say there’s evidence that they’re safe in pregnancy so to stop using

update on my post about my colonoscopy on August 6th while on 3.5mg of Prednisolone.
Hi all, I’m sure I had very little sedation because I felt so much pain during the colonoscopy that I thought they’d forgotten to give me any. Only one polyp & 2 biopsies were removed & it felt like I was awake during the whole procedure, which I wasn’t as it took 40 minutes. I even felt the scope

just started Alendronic Acid tablets
I was recently diagnosed with osteoporosis and given alendonic accid tablets to try. The day after I took them my teeth on one side felt weird, more prominent somehow. I'm wondering if this is normal or a problem. Have asked my dentist for advice but wondered if anyone else experienced this?

Second Prostap injection
Hi, I had my second 3 month Prostap injection 4 weeks ago and I’ve been bleeding heavily with clots since having it… it took 6 weeks for the bleeding to stop when I had the first one, then I had a few weeks of no bleeding which was lovely, I started spotting two weeks before my second was due but assumed

Loss of Bone density
I have just received a low bone density diagnosis due to the 8 months of prednisone, I suppose. I am devastated as I have followed all the recommendations for diet, pills, including alendronate, and do numerous weight bearing activities. Can bone density ever improve naturally? Or is this forever?

Alendronic Acid
I have reduced my Prednisolone to 3 ml a day, I was thinking of stopping my weekly intake of Alendronic acid, but I first of all contacted my GP. She has responded by saying that I should stay on it for five years. I have been on it for 15 months. What are your thoughts on stopping Alendronic Acid.
