CORTISONE INJECTIONS
Just wondering what the success rate is for those of you that have experienced
cortisone
injections. I had my first 6 wks ago (for the shoulder), and miraculously the following morning my pain had decreased by 80-90%. Lasting only 10 days.

Who knows?
The side effects of
cortisone
, prednisone, and similar drugs are legendary. They include diabetes, osteoporosis, edema of the face, mood swings, stomach ulcers and, very importantly, adrenal suppression. In other words, your own adrenal glands shut off their production of these valuable hormones.

Skin Itch
No creams or treatments such as
cortisone
seem to do any good. It seems as though the problem is sub-cutaneous as there is no rash unless I scratch it. I have had PD four years and taken pramipexole for three. Recently I have been taking thiamine, but without any benefits yet.

Is there any connection at all between low cortisol or adrenal gland malfunction and PMR/GCA?

Pain management
Has anyone had any experience with injections for pain management-- such as
cortisone
type? Sedation is involved. Also recommended if these injections don't work is a neurotomy , where they will burn the nerve ending. Thanks for your input

NHS Endo test results - all normal - thoughts please ...
Hi - I have finally been to see an NHS endocrinologist. It felt like something of a 'tick box exercise'. My GP agreed to the referral because I had a low serum cortisol result and because (whilst my TSH is 'normal') my FT4 is at the bottom of the scale and I've been pushing for investigation of a possible

Severe chronic Backache just when sitting
Treatments so far include: Chiropractor, Oesteopathy, Physio, Acupuncture and 2 x
Cortisone
steroId injections.Nothing to date has helped at all. The ache feels like it was on day one with no improvement whatsoever but also no worsening of it either.

Treating Shoulder Pain, a gift of PMR
My Rheumy diagnosed bursitis and has offered to give me a
cortisone
shot. She says she's had success with that. My questions: 1.She hasn't mentioned taking any kind of images to confirm the diagnosis she made on the basis of putting me through a bunch of movements and eliciting the pain.

I still feel very ill. Still have very heavy concrete arms. Could this be due to low cortisol levels or something along these lines. UK
A few months ago I posted regarding the deep heaviness in both of my arms. I've had it since beginning of 2014. Anyway, I've kept to a good diet as posted before. I began drinking coconut water to up my pottasioum levels in hopes its due to low potassium but no luck at all. I'm starting to become

Cause of pain
He gave me a
cortisone
injection that gave me considerable relief on the side with acute sciatica and that has lasted for four months. But the pain other side and weakness has, if anything, increased.
