Pseudogout with PMR?
Hi everyone. Recently I again tried tapering to 7.5mg prednisone without success. I went back up to 10mg but the pain that had escalated in my shoulders, arms, back and knees didn't really get much better. My rheumatologist ordered X-rays and increased my Prednisone to 20mg. The results of the X-rays

Thyroid dr Salisbury queries
I know that some of you have seen Dr Martin Smith, an endocrinologist in Salisbury, Wilts. I'm suffering from a borderline under active thyroid & my GP will do nothing but repeat blood tests. I am about to get my results for my "fatigue" tests & if my T4 is still underactive then I need to see an endocrinologist

My crazy year
Hello Everyone! Well it has been a crazy time for me. This past year has been insane to say the least so let me start from the beginning. About 2 years ago (2014) I took a spill in a parking lot over my dog. I didn't think much of it. I was almost 36 and had been sore but figured I wasn't a spring chicken

Lidocaine Infusion for pain control ?
Good morning all, I have been to the pain clinic for my fibromyalgia and the doctor has offered me a lidocaine infusion to help with my all over pain. I have had cortisone injections and epidurals in the past but now have osteoporosis and should nit be on steroids now because it will make my bones more

Excruciating pain & upcoming surgeon visit!
My initial diagnosis over 2 years ago, was very similar to yours. MRI looked similar as well. My L4/5 is now almost non-existent (new MRI just 3 weeks ago) and my L5/S1 is getting worse as well. I was in a car accident 15 years ago, which started my back issues. I'd been good for a long time after

CORTISONE INJECTION SIDE EFFECTS
I had a cortisone injection in my shoulder two days ago and I have been feeling very dizzy. Is this normal and how long will the dizziness last for?

Does this sound familiar to you? (pain in my hand)
For the past few years I've had intermittent aching/bit of pain in my right hand – nothing major – just that annoying stretchy/cramp feeling. However for the past couple of months it’s changed. I’ve now been getting pain and stiffness in my index finger and today it hurt so much that I dropped my

Avulsions fracture with RA
Hi I'm Loralie. I have had RA for 12 years and am currently on Xeljanz. I sustained an avulsions fracture this weekend and am wondering is this might have been exacerbated by the RA, meds, or perhaps a cortisone injection I received less than 2 weeks ago. Any thoughts?

Frozen Shoulder
New to forum. Recently diagnosed with frozen shoulder. This is a bummer, man. The ache was so bad that I went to an osteopath who told me that nothing could be done and that I would have to 'suck up' the pain. Had a cortisone injection five days ago but no real relief. I am having trouble sleeping.

Guttate psoriasis
Anyone else out there with this issue ? I've had it for about a year. I have both cll and et(essential thrombocytosis-high platelets) and am on Hydroxyurea. I don't know if this kind of chemo is making it worse or what. I have read that this type of psoriasis could be a streptococcal thing. My GP has

One Bad Night
Last night was probably one of the worst nights I've had. My hands and feet started to itch as always. Then my feet started to swell. I put cortisone in it, sometimes it helps me. But no luck last night. I put calamine on it. That didn't help. I truly tried not to scratch but I couldn't help it
