Be aware of high fevers
I just spent a week in the hospital. The prednisone caused me to become unaware of my surroundings. Fortunately my husband saw these changes and called an ambulance. My 105 degree fever was quite serious and I was on antibiotics of all kinds to stop cellulitis in my arm from reaching the point of death

Knocked out of marathon training (How to tell the children about BCR)
Proximal hamstring tendinopathy knocked me out of training for my second marathon. Physical therapy is helping me to conquer my overuse injury and dreams of hitting the magical four hour marathon finishing time seemed to have just been delayed until the fall. I even allowed myself to wonder if I could

Hello, I hope this post finds you all safe and well as you can be. I recently posted about just finding out that as a child I had been diagnosed with Larsen Syndrome. All of you lovely people pointed me in a direction to find out more. At the moment I am suffering with really quite bad arm weakness

Burning pain in spine
I pay privately for
physiotherapy
because the NHS only offer phone physio.. Today I saw a private orthopaedic consultant surgeon who wasn’t very helpful and barely laid a hand on my back, moreover, no investigations. He only wanted to push the services of his colleague who was a pain consultant.

Hi, I'm Laurelin & I'm new to the LSN!
Just joined today! Have Lymphoedema, Lymphedema, Overactive Bladder & Fecal Incontinence. Have an Osteopath for my Primary Care Physician, fortunately. Have a Urogynecologist too!! Would like to get a Lymphedema Physical Therapist to go to now that I know I have Lymphoedema. It's a drag having these

Knee replacement in March
I am due to have a TKR on my right leg on 17th March and was hoping you lovely folk might help me get prepared. Given the huge waiting lists on NHS we are using a chunk of our savings to get it done at our local Nuffield hospital, but they don't link with occupational therapy so I have no idea what

Managing pain and mobility
I have endo , pcos and adenmyosis. Currently I take metformin for the pcos and heat packs and pain killers when the pain is bad . My last period lasted 5 weeks and was heavy as I stopped the metformin due to side effects and have since restarted it . Had to take medication to stop my period . I’ve tried

Referral to a London hospital to investigate ulnar nerve compression
Hi all. I’ve been referred to Kings College Hospital as my Rheumy consultant thinks I may need surgery for nerve compression in my elbow. I’ve had lots of physio but it’s not really helped. Has anyone had this surgery? Also, I’m waiting for my PIP decision. I had my assessment 2 weeks ago, and I know

Update on my phone appt. with Neph. last Wed.
3 months ago myNeph. had said he may take me off Prednisone in Jan. as an experiment to see if my kidney numbers stayed up since when I started Pred. they jumped from eGFR of 28 up to 50. It had been 35 - 30 the previous 4 or 5 years. My Jan. labs showed I'd dropped to 42 which is still my best in 8

Muscle weakness… again.
So this is something I’ve struggled with for a long time now. It has disappeared at times, most recently when I was on 60mcg T3 only but after a few months that dose proved to be too high, and I was getting breathless, so I dropped it again to 57mcg. So now the muscle weakness is back, and I’m back

Benefits of nortriptyline
Hello - my physio thinks I have chronic pain syndrome following extensive foot surgery. I have tried amitriptyline, and now trying nortriptyline as recommended by the GP as he says that the side effects will be less. The physio has suggested pregabalin but I am reluctant to take it. Has anyone taken

Physical therapy
My neurologist has recommended that I go to physical therapy. My question is how long do you continue with PT? I know they will work on balance, walking, strength, coordination, etc. and it may improve a little. The last time I had gone to PT, the therapist kept giving me exercises but I wouldn’t say

A few niggles, am I over doing it?
Hi All, Last night I managed my 4th run over 10k (10.3 to be exact!), but around 8k my achilles was sore, so I slowed up and all was fine. Last week I found I was getting some intermittent calf pain whilst running and a sore foot on completing the 10k, but was fine on the 5k parkrun... I've also

Right back where I started.
Sorry, long post alert! In Feb 2019 I set out on my first tentative steps as a runner. Not sure I’d ever really call myself a runner, a very slow jogger maybe but hey, I trotted my way through C25K, then to 5km (at Parkrun and I had to retire to the sofa for the afternoon because I was so shattered!
