Steroid injection and after
Am still contemplating and resisting this. A further worry is, in the event the injection is successful, the temptation to overdo everything and get back to normal life would be extremely difficult to resist. Meanwhile, underneath the condition would be deteriorating unknowingly and could end up further

Hi everyone I havent on here for a long time! Some advice please, I’ve been to see consultant and told (after all these years of being told it was muscular) that I have degenerate L5/S1 segment of the lower back. 1, is this arthritis in my spine or problems with disc/discs. 2, does the pain suddenly

Hypothyroidism and Rheumatoid Arthritis Symptoms.
I have been told by my consultant that I have rheumatoid arthritis even though x-rays don't show anything and I haven't had an ultrasound scan. Can hypothyroidism mimic the same joint pain as RA? I changed to NDT to reduce muscle pain amongst other things after being on Levothyroxine for 10 years, but

Acupuncture
Has anyone had acupuncture for severe back pain? I have had four lumbar spinal fusions, all failed, and now steroid injection has been suggested. I am very against this for many reasons but am a big fan of acupuncture for general health. Has anyone had needles down the spine and on the operation site

Acupuncture for back pain after spinal fusions
Has anyone tried this? Had the spinal needles yesterday and it was marvellous afterwards. Today feel really awful, in pain again and very depressed. The accupuncturist is no charlatan and top class in the profession. Obviously will be needing several sessions and I believe the results are cumulative

PMR newly diagnosed
Hi everyone, this is my first post. I was originally following the Psoriatic Arthritis posts but last week have now been given a PMR diagnosis. To give you a picture of my story, I was 53 years old when I came down with sudden pain and stiffness in my thighs, upper arms and neck in May 2017. Since then

Lumbar fusions
Hello all. Have had three lumbar fusions in five years. Now no more surgery as they did not last. The last obe in 2015 lasted 2 years. Now the pain is really bad. Morphine and Tramadol (allergic) bad reactions and don’t work. Been referred to a pain clinic. They could only suggest steroid injections

Time to give myself a shake!
Morning. I’m not new to weight loss or slimming clubs but I’m new to the site, so hi! I’m 53 and have stage 3 osteoarthritis in my knees and struggle to just walk let alone use the stairs. I had a left knee cartilage repair last year and a steroid injection and now the only option left is a knee replacement

1 week after taking Methotrexate
For the last two months I was on Dexamethasone 4mg and was able to be normal. I could walk, run and even use my hands as before. It was a normal Christmas and New Year. However, my Rheumatologist took me of them. Slowly my RA returned and I am back to square one...with serve joint pains in the hands

Update: My Kefir Diary. Drastically reduced swelling in feet...and less foot pain.
Over the weekend I have noticed that my swollen feet are drastically going down! For the last 5 years my feet have not been their normal size by far. They are swollen, fat and chunky. Or at least they were 😋!!! My toes would normally be rather sausage like, and my feet would have no proper shape, especially
