Radiculopathy
As a complication to PMR I have now lumbar radiculopathy with pain and numbness in my legs. Still on cortisone after 6 years now 6.25 mg. But my slow tapering doesn’t seem to affect my lumbar pain and stiffness. Does anyone else here suffer from this condition??

Sacroiliac Joint Pain
Hi allI had a fall on a wet marble floor which I think started this off. I also have osteoarthritis in my lumbar spine, so this is quite painful & stiff first thing of a morning, but I can cope with this once I start moving and take my medication (Naproxen). The sacroiliac pain starts once I've been

adrenal insufficiency
hi I have a question about changing medication. I have GCA (3 years) but doing well and have reduced pred to 3mg. My endocrinologist wants to change the prednisilone to cortisone twice a day, 10mg am and 5mg pm in order to help kick start the adrenals. I've had the short Synacthen test twice now and

Had cortisone injection
Went to St Luke's yesterday was in and out. First attempt missed. Second didn't really hurt just more intense pressure.The Dr was very nice and friendly. It was difficult to get to the hospital and parking. We just got lucky. I'm sore today but I have bursitis anyway.. I would recommend the procedure

How cortisone/pred works - a new study reports on a potential target to replace steroids
I thought you'd be interested in this article about a study from Germany which has worked out how pred works - and knowing that is the basis for developing other drugs to replace it. https://www.news-medical.net/news/20240410/Study-unlocks-how-cortisone-activates-the-bodye28099s-natural-e2809cbrakese2809d-on-inflammation.aspx
