CELLULITIS
Has anyone had cellulitis? I have had it for just over a week and have just completed a 7 day course of Flucloxacillin. I did not see a doctor - just had to post a photo of my leg, so haven't had the opportunity of discussing it with him. From the web it sounds quite serious, but don't like taking

Jaw and Shoulder Pain
Did anyone have jaw and/or shoulder pain that was eventually relieved once they found their sweetspot? I am 24 days on 100mcg T4 and 5mcg T3. I have the jaw and shoulder pain, plus still very tired. I think the brain fog is somewhat better. It is hard to sort out brain fog and fatigue at times. I can

pain relief for rotator cuff injury
I am seeking honest answers regarding treatment for severe pain. My PBC is “evolving “. My liver biopsy was inconclusive but I was started on urso due to symptoms and progression of labs. I recently had an MRI that shows mild liver inflammation but nothing particularly concerning based on my interpretation

Plantar fasciitis
I might have yet another inflammatory condition: sudden agonising heel and sole of foot pain. I think I've been ignoring it, but boy is it in the fore front of my mind now! I'm seeing a physio tomorrow. My question: I'm not supposed to take NSAIDs, although I have taken a couple. Also Co Codamol.

RLS and stress
When I am stressed although I am away from all nightshades and other foods worsening RLS, I am exhausted even in the morning. You know that RLS is sometimes a reaction of the immune system. The time I am taking paracetamol for pain, It triggers the immune system and causes other issues like lichen plants

I got impetigo and I’m due to get my Covid booster
hi all, hope you are all enjoying the nice weather although from indoors. I was going to the gym up to last week and since Tuesday I got impetigo in my face. At first I thought it was a cold sore but I don’t usually have cold sores and this was itchy and had a runny liquid so I went to the pharmacy and

Doctor won't diagnose PMR
I'm absolutely certain that I have PMR. But my blood tests all came back normal, including the erythrocyte sedimentation rate and the inflammatory marker test, and I'm only 56. My GP has just left me on NSAIDS and paracetamol with physio. It's not working. How common is it to have PMR with no obvious

What to say about NSAIDs and muscle relaxants
Hello All -- The other day I asked my EP which NSAIDs would be less harmful. He replied that since I am not on anticoagulants NSAIDs are not contraindicated for me. I said nothing. I didn't have the heart to say I had more confidence in my wonderful UK Afib forum than in his pronouncement. At some

Duloxetine with low dose of tramadol?
Hi all I’m hoping to switch from Amitriptyline (which is no longer working for me) to Duloxetine very soon. I also take cocodamol here and there and it really helps but I have to stop it ideally because of mast cell issues (a whole other story). Tramadol would be a suitable switch but I’ve read it

Naproxen
Hi all, just wanted to ask if anyone has had similar experience of taking NSAIDs?In 2019 I had endoscopy as I was experiencing stomach pain and afterwards I was told to avoid NSAIDs. I take pregablin 300mg x 2 daily and cocodamol if I have to. I recently asked gp for naproxen to try it for month for

frustrated with gp re pain meds.
Ever since I had my stroke in 2018, I’ve not been allowed nsaids, due to the increased risk of further strokes. My then gp prescribed butec patches, which in the 5.5yrs have only been increased twice to the current 15mcg. I was given Tramadol for breakthrough pain which I don’t take too often. A box

AF and Arthritis
Hi everyone long time no post! Pleased to say the AF has been quite stable over the last 6 months or so, a few blips here and there but usually down to lack of sleep, bugs and dehydration! However over the last 2-3 months my osteoarthritis has been getting steadily worse to the point I've had trouble

NSAIDS and Afib.
After a concussion last January, I started taking Naproxen regularly. AND I started having break-thru Afib episodes. My docs KNEw I was taking this but said nothing. My cardiologist who knows I have Afib said nothing. So, I read about it and yep, people with Afib are cautioned NOT to take NSAIDS!!!

When the drugs don’t work
Where to begin… my poor Mum had her first hip replacement in 2007, but it broke and she had a revision in 2008. Unfortunately she was in more pain than ever, and they were about to write the pain off as psychological but thankfully she got referred to an Orthopaedic Specialist hospital who discovered
