Is a massage ok with PMR etc?
I have PMR (on 5mg currently) and also have pain on walking caused by spinal stenosis/ degeneration of lumbar spine and left hip etc. I also had a steroid injection a while back for bursitis in my right hip. My daughter would like to give me a massage as a Mothers’s Day gift and I’d love to have one

Tapering strategy
I guess this depends somewhat on how long you’ve been on
steroids
and how they are affecting your overall health. Is it better to allow some mild symptoms to return in order to lower steroid dose (and come off it sooner) or will that just prolong PMR ?

Recap on Intense pain post
I’ve had a CT in Fall of 2019 indicating a couple of bulging discs. Spinal stenosis, s curve scoliosis. I’ve tried chiropractic treatments as well as acupuncture, acupressure and meditate several times a day. I’ve been cautioned by my primary care physician who has a DO ( osteopathic medical degree).

Advice needed
We've now done 2 FETs with exactly the same protocol (
steroids
/ intralipids / ERA timing / PGT-A normal embryo) as our successful one - and both have been BFN.

MTX/Sulphasalazine, heart burn and weird sensory side effects.
In December I was given a course of
steroids
and came off naproxen/lansoprazole. I had acid reflux and assumed it was in part due to eating too much Christmas chocolate. Once I came off the
steroids
I went back on Naproxen with lansoprazole of course the acid reflux stopped.

Flare or adrenal crisis?
(I'm really keen to get off the
steroids
as I'm a bit freaked out by possible side effects and I have niggling doubts about diagnosis .. I suppose the GPs doubt has got in my head and I do have a history of osteoarthritis in neck/spine). Anyway a week ago I crashed.

Heart issues and pred
I found this https://evidence.nihr.ac.uk/alert/low-doses-
steroids
-increase-cardiovascular-risks-in-inflammatory-diseases/ I am not suggesting for a moment that pred is in any way a culprit. We all know how vital it is to us. Just something to be aware of - I did not know until I started looking.

Hello Again. Has anyone had an epidural steroid injection for shingles pain? I am scheduled for one and I'm scared. I have had trigger point injections in the past, but those go into muscle where this would go to the nerves that shingles infect. This doctor is very good at what she does so I have no

first orthotics
disappointed. The podiatrist hardly looked at the foot and spent most of the appointment typing then without any measurements or gait test said he’s ordered me a pair that would arrive by post in the fullness of time. I suspect these will be no better than the well known brand I ordered online and

I would appreciate your thoughts on what is happening to me right now and the best way to get help or do I just plough through.
I know there is no point going to the Rheumy as they will tell me I no longer have LVV and to get off
steroids
, hence I repeatedly cancel my appointments and reschedule, stocking up on pred so that I can manage myself.

PMR without steroids?
Hubby (55) was just diagnosed with PMR that we suspect he's had for about two years. He'd like to try and work through it without taking prednisone since every post we read is about people trying to get off of it. Do you think it's possible to manage the pain with other means and methods long enough
