Leg Pain
Hi all, not sure which group,to seek information from. I also belong to the arthritis group. Just to say the physio diagnosed arthritis nearly 6 weeks ago when things were not so bad. I have followed her exercises daily. All that’s happened is the pain is worse and the most awful pins and needles

PMR or PsA or both
My Rheumatologist left the practice and I meet with a new one last week. He says that he is not sure I have PsA but maybe only PMR. Wants me to stop methotrexate immediately and try reducing prednisone my 1 mg a month. Currently are 12.0 mg. Happy about this nut scared too. If he is wrong, when and

Fibro
Hi I asked my doctor if I had fibro and his answer was do you want another diagnosis adding to your medical record. And all my pain is because I'm getting old. But I won't accept that. I have lymphondema in both legs osteoarthritis in both knees in top of neck and dics degenerative disease in spine

Polymyalgia and Rheumatoid arthritis
I was diagnosed with PMR in June 2014. Over a period of about 7 years I managed to come off prednisone but after a time the PMR returned. Since 2022 I have managed to get down to 7mg daily and then have a flare. Back to 10 down to 8 and another flare. I live in France and it seems PMR is not as common

Joint Steroid Injection
Hi,Im due to have a Steroid Injection in my knee to hopefully relieve the symptoms of Osteoarthritis. Which is very painful most of the time, and can be very debilitating. Just Wondering if anyone has had this done and knows how long it lasts before wearing off? Do they work? Are they worth having done

Question on PMR and Temporal Arteritis
Does anyone know: would an MRI show Temporal Arteritis or would a person need a biopsy to determine if Temporal Arteritis was present?

Hello - I'm a new member
Hello, I've just joined today and wanted to say hello. I was diagnosed with Rheumatoid Arthritis around 26 years ago, and it's been quite a journey. I've been on numerous treatments over the years, and had several surgeries. Fortunately, I've managed to keep working - although it's becoming more
