What to take for pain?
Hi. I have adult onset asthma and also have lower back pain and costochondritis plus migraines. I usually just deal with it but have a trip coming up and wanted to bring something just in case the pain becomes unbearable with all that sitting. I keep reading NSAIDS are contraindicated for asthma. Does

Using flexiseq - tips please
I have recently been discharged by my rheumy, despite my crippling knee pain which he thinks is OA. I am still on half mg pred, and take blood thinners so can't take NSAIDs. I'm waiting for an XRay result. Lovely people on here have suggested I use Flexiseq. I have just started to use it. No noticeable

Cocodamol
Hi there,I had a heart attack (congested arteries) and a stent fitted last year. On the usual cocktail of meds. My back has started playing up and at night I find that if I take two OTC cocodamol it can help me sleep. Is this permitted? I know I can't take NSAIDs but not sure about cocodamol. Paracetamol

Information on psoriatic arthritis
Hi, I'm in new to psoriaitc arthritis, my gp suspects I have the early stages of it and I'm likely to be referred to rheumatology. I just need more information about treatment, progression, diagnosis methods, people's lived experiences? I feel young to be looking at a diagnosis of arthritis, I can't

Unable to take NSAID's due to blood thinners...
I suffer from chronic glute/back pain due to lumbar spinal stenosis, but am unable to take NSAID's due to taking Rivaroxaban blood thinners. Is there any effective pain killer that I can take?...

broken bones and MPN
I’ve never broken any bone in my body but last week I broke my ankle. I’ve been told it’s a stable fracture and have been given a boot and crutches. I do normally have bone pain anyway but my lower leg is extremely painful and hot to touch. I’m taking zapain full daily dose but it’s only barely touching

New to group
Good morning, I just found this group online while looking for a support group for my husband’s demyelinating syndrome. I have been through the wringer with chronic back pain due to degenerative disc disease since 1989. I try not to let my pain define me, though. My new pain specialist recommended

Private care?
Hi everyone, I'm in a desperate situation which I am sure a lot of you can relate to. Quickly, my story: At 24 years old, I have had severe period pains since I started menstruating 12 years ago. Cramps in lower tummy, back, and most painfully, all down my legs, front and back. The leg pains have

Celebrex and Curcumin and Magnesium.
I recently received a question from a fellow warrior based on a comment I had made on an older post that he had started. The question was what I thought about Naproxen compered to Celebrex and I told him I had very limited experience with Naproxen. I then clicked on older posts about nsaids and prostate

Is redness normal?
I'm new to RA, still on waiting list to see rheumatologist in order to get proper diagnosis and treatment after several months of hobbling. The latest challenge is a very swollen warm, red ankle, very sore to walk on. Is this redness normal aswell as aches and swelling? GPs just prescribed NSAIDs.

Tetanus booster while on prednisone?
Has anyone had the tetanus booster (I'm due for a 10-year one) while on prednisone? Am I correct in understanding that we should not have "live" vaccines? And I can't find any information that mentions if it's live or not. Thank you so much for any insights!

NSAIDs
Here's a question that has been bothering me for a bit. Let's say I persevere and make it all the way to getting a transplant, and I'm getting along with it and the many requirements for keeping my new organ. Without any other issues cropping up, will NSAIDs ever be okay to take? I'm not planning

Arthritis without NSAIDS
My arthritis has gotten very annoying. I can't be on my feet for very long. Stage 4 Renal disease for a while now and tylenol really doesn't do much.

Does NSAIDS reduce ADT effectiveness?
Hello I have a question about taking NSAIDS while on ADT - up to now I have only used tylenol - I had read somewhere that NSAIDS subtract some effectiveness of the hormone therapy and I have avoided it - but with the amount of inflammation after 8 months, I would like to use some - primarily to let

Shingles jab
I may be the last person to know this, but.......having been told to avoid the shingles jab as it contained a live virus, I've just been told that the NHS no longer use live virus vaccines, so it's safe for MPN patients. I have now had my first shot👍
