Does anyone Know why certain treatments are being withheld from Shielding patients?

Why are my surgery saying that the advice they have is not to give intra-articular steroid injections to shielding patients? What has changed? I used to have these twice yearly and I have been asking; no begging for one for 3 months. I have even offered to pay!Why are my surgery saying that the advice they have is not to give intra-articular steroid injections to shielding patients? What has changed?

Research info please!

I spend a lot of time in Spain and find this does help but have been back in UK and unable to get steroid injections in shoulders.

Joint injections - how long do they take to work?

Hi, I had steroid injections into my wrists yesterday. It's the first time I've had them. How long do they take to work? It's nearly 24 hours on and so far I'm not experiencing much change. A little but not very much improvement at all.Hi, I had steroid injections into my wrists yesterday. It's the first time I've had them. How long do they take to work?

Epidural Steroid injection

I have had two epidural steroid injections. Make sure you tell them to put an IV in with Meds to help relax you and help with any pain prior to procedure. I was fine on my second one.:-) Good Luck.I have had two epidural steroid injections. Make sure you tell them to put an IV in with Meds to help relax you and help with any pain prior to procedure.

Rheumy telephone appointment earlier

As most of you know I’ve been struggling despite the steroid injections into the knees and starting Sulfasalazine. I had my follow up with my rheumatologist earlier this afternoon and the upshot is that the steroid injections lasted all of three weeks.As most of you know I’ve been struggling despite the steroid injections into the knees and starting Sulfasalazine.

Pain in upper arms - steroid injections?

GP has also recommended steroid injections, which I am a bit wary of for the following reasons: 1. she does not have a diagnosis and 2. I am worried about having an injection as I have had bad reactions to injections before. Any advice would be greatly appreciated. Many thanks.GP has also recommended steroid injections, which I am a bit wary of for the following reasons: 1. she does not have a diagnosis and 2.

Using crutches to walk due to pain in legs

The steroid injections I had done in Harley Street was diagnosed with genitofemoral neuralgia. I would appreciate some advice from anyone that’s been in the same boat of not being listened to.The steroid injections I had done in Harley Street was diagnosed with genitofemoral neuralgia.

Steroid injections and Riveroxaban

Hi.… went for a steroid injection in my hip and the young doctor said that my consultant should have mentioned that I was on Riveroxaban as he couldn't give me a joint injection because of the risk of internal bleeding.

Can I ask if this is normal

I’ve had the steroid injections into both knees ... the thing is that my right knee feels quite amazingly different and well but my left knee is much the same as before but without the ‘turning to boulders’ feeling. Is it normal for one knee to get much better than the other?I’ve had the steroid injections into both knees ... the thing is that my right knee feels quite amazingly different and well but my left knee is much the same as before but without the ‘turning to boulders’ feeling.
