cortisone shot
I had to have 5 cortisone injections into my ankle and metasal due to arthritis. I’ve noticed that since I had them my heart rate really drops. I’m 70 yrs old but noticed my resting heart rate drops to 44 - 56. It does rise during day. I had this before in February when I had a nerve block done. is

Treatment has hit a wall. I can not sit without pain.
I have not been able to sit without horrid pain since August. I did too much — and I have not recovered. On top of that, the nerve blocks I have been getting to try to help this pain for years, like pudendal nerve block, trigger point injections into my pelvic floor, si joint injections, and caudal injections

Nerve damage
Since my carpal tunnel, cubitunnel and median nerve surgery 2 years ago, I have experienced horrible, constant seeking nerve pain in my left arm. My hand is deformed and I have no use of my arm and hand. After 2 hand surgeons, 2 PT's and a neurologist, all of whom said there was nothing they could do

Pain management pudendal neuralgia
I had a fall from height 11 months ago. Struggling to get anywhere with medical professionals, there is no urgency & I have been made to feel neurotic at times. I’m finding the ones I have seen don’t really know about PN. My osteopath suspected PN in October & GP referred me to MSK spinal specialist

Rheumatoid Meningitis Recovery
Has anyone out there had rheumatoid meningitis? I was recently treated for it and am looking for others who have had this experience or just experience with recovering from aseptic meningitis in general. I was diagnosed with RF positive RA in 2012. My disease has been stable on Cimzia for 6+ years.

Need Relief
I have been experiencing pancreatic pain for 6 mos now. Have been to the ED 5 times in that time period. I thought I knew what pain was with my lower back issues - but I was unfortunately mistaken. During these acute pancreatic episodes - the best way to describe the pain is to say that I was out of

Wife getting MMR vaccine booster - isolate or not?
I'm an SLL patient, 55 years old, now about 2.5 years into remission after 6 FCR treatments. I just recovered from a recent (and thankfully mild) bout of shingles. My shingles was so mild that my GP wasn't convinced it actually was shingles! She had me tested for herpes zoster antibodies, and for good

Lyme Disease
Hello, I hope everyone is feeling as well as possible. Can I ask about links between Lyme Disease and RA? What is actually known? My daughter was talking about ticks the other day (we are both walkers) when I said I had had (in my late teens) a bullseye mark from a tick on my leg, she said ‘well that

shingles vaccine
no you can't have the shingles as it is a live vaccine. You don't get offered the shingles vaccine until you are 70

Crack in cranioplasty
I had a TBI when I was 6 years old and had plastic fitted into the back of my head to close it (cranioplasty). Some time ago however, I started getting some sudden pain (once I felt an electric current running through the back of my head; at age 40). After an MRI and CT Scan, it was found that I somehow

Shingles Vaccine
I have RA and am currently taking hydroxychloroquin, methotrexate and amgevita. I’m trying to work out whether at age 61 with a compromised immune system, I will qualify for the new shingrix (shingles non-live) vaccine on the NHS? Does anyone know?

Pain all over
Hello everyone hope you all had a good holiday. As some might know I had a brain tumor removed in 2019. I've had some problems but I'm wounded if it could have triggered fibromyalgia. With all the pain and problems but I'm afraid that I'll sound like a nut job if I ask my doctor.????
