First Rheumatology appointment
Hi everyone, I posted in March about the long waiting list to see a rheumatologist and this week I finally had my first appointment. Having previously been investigated for similar symptoms in my teens with no satisfactory diagnosis or treatment I was very nervous to say the least! The doctor I saw

OA, fibromyalgia and pain
Hi everyone This is my first post on this forum. I have read a lot of your posts and find them very informative and helpful....... it's good to know you're not alone with this awful pain. I am 59..... the big 60 in December, however, I feel at least 90 most days. I have quite severe OA in my left hip

Side effects of medication
I suffer from very painful joints flare up due to Behcet. I have resisted going onto medication other than steroids because of their side effects and the length of time one need to take them. I mostly managed with steroid injections in the affected joint when the flare up occur but the doctor tells me

These are a few of my favorite things..(ideas really) after 18 months of PMR
I have learned so much from all of you so willing to share that I thought i might be able to help some also along the journey. Here are some things I know now that I didn't know before. Take what you like and leave the rest. 1. I don't put myself in situations where I may have to hurry. My brain doesn't

Update on steroid injections
I am giving a quick update to anyone who would like to know. Day 3 and the soreness is minimal and the pain in my shoulder is minimal from injections but not in my neck. I can barely move it sideways and it feels like I have pulled a muscle or something. One thing I have noticed is so far I have not

Update after seeing rheumatologist
Hi everyone, So I've seen my rheumatologist and she has decided to put me on etanercept. I hate injections, but will have to learn to get used too them 😂. I've also had my steroid injection, so I can't wait to feel the benefits of that!! Hopefully after my holiday I'll be settled on the new drug

Cranial nerve blocks ( steroids injections) causing an elevated INR?
1. Just out of hospital last week for a major DVT ( arm) with low INR ( 1.9, 2.2 , etc) with accompanying migraines 2. Migraines are suspected Hemi crania continua - fits the bill pretty well and linked to APS 3. Two days ago I received 24 injections into skull of steroids- cranial nerve blocks for pain

Injections in my back today
Hello everyone, so today I'm going for steroid injections in my back at the hospital. I am wondering if anyone else on here has had them as I have been told they make you sore for a few days and bruised. Also do the injections actually work or am I going through this for nothing? Many thanks for any

Update from last week
Hi All, Many Thanks for last weeks support & advice, following on from the below post: My farther seen his RUM specialist who advised him that he thinks it is definitely R/A last Tuesday. He advised him that the Met is not yet working and they may supplement this with another drug to assist the Met.

Hi All, First time poster on this forum! Similar to most complicated case theme!
I recently stumbled across this website while desperately searching for some explanation into PMR after my farther was diagnosed with it about 5 weeks ago following a night in A&E due to 10/10 pain around his hip & groin area. I believe that this group has provided my family with critical information
