steroid injections
I had a steroid injection in my low back yesterday. This was to help nerve pain I have been having in my thigh. Today, could I use the steroid from this having this shot of steroid from this injection as a way to decrease my daily steroid by 1/2- 1mg.? Will that work? Hope that makes sense😊

thank you!
I am so thankful that this site has given me the education that I was aware of what was perhaps going on with her and the courage to up her
steroids
myself. He seemed very unphased that I had taken matters into my own hands!

Considering knee replacement surgery but ....
My main concern about knee surgery revolves around during and after-surgery medication, infections,
steroids
and any decrease in kidney function. With my creatine increasing from 1.8 to 2.0 over 7 year, my Nephrologist has told me I should not need dialysis in my lifetime.

My question is, as I’m taking the Lanzoprazole , do I need food before taking the
steroids
? Thanks in advance.

"Flare"
Started feeling some stiffness and then I had a total return of symptoms last night and this morning--as bad or worse than before starting
steroids
. I took 12.5 mg this morning and plan to take another 7.5 early this evening to see if I can recover.

Bursitis and Tendonitis in hips, knees, shoulders and ankles
He is referring me for an ultrasound to check it's bursitis/ tendonitis and they will inject
steroids
into it (shoulders first) if it is. Has anyone else had this combination of under active thyroid and it affecting the joints? The Rhuemey said I'd have to wait months probably for this procedure.

Bronchocentric Glanulomatosis?
She was eventually put on these
steroids
, which has cleared up the cough but she has lost the will to live. I'm at a loss as to how to help her. Has anyone else on this site heard of bronchocentric glanulomatosis or been misdiagnosed.

Sore perineum and vulvar
I have a pudendal nerve entrapment diagnosis of 8 years now but recently the pain from the anal area has now moved to my vaginal area causing really bad pain in vagina, vulva and perineum. I was given hormone cream to insert by gp as she thought it was menopausal symptoms. This didn't work. I revisited

Pred and Alendronic Acid
I now have very bad wear and tear in my neck and right hand, but al least I don't have to take
steroids
for it so I feel I can put up with it until I get some physio.
