Good morning to you lovely people on this beautiful sunny Saturday morning. Has anyone else had their employer ask for a letter from you GP or consultant to prove you are still in the clinically extremely vulnerable group.

Pfizer jab PMR
Hi All I’ve just been diagnosed with PMR my crp was 105, my symptoms virtually disappeared after 4 hours of taking 15mg of prednisolone last Saturday and things are nearly back to normal. I was a relatively fit and healthy 56 year old female. 14 months ago I started to get aches and pains on waking

I had to get a pneumonia vaccination before the paper work could go off and the prescription done which I’m hoping it has this week . I spoke to the nurse about Imraldi but she wouldn

Hello everyone - following on from my last post - hip and groin pain and all the most excellent advice and shared experiences, I rocked up at the surgery yesterday with a print out of parts of the answers I got and a piece of paper with all the things I wanted to discuss - possible bursitis, iliopoas

any advice welcome…
I was diagnosed in January 2022, I had flares every couple of months. In December my pain started to get a lot worse I now have pain everyday in my hands and someday my knees, feet and shoulders. In somedays are a real struggle. I was given a steroid injection and prescribed hydroxychloroquine sulfate

38 weeks planned c section - Steroid injection?
I’m currently 34+1 with our IVF miracle and having a planned c section at 38 weeks (had complicated emergency c section with first child) but they’ve said they offer an optional steroid injection if you deliver planned before 39 weeks which can apparently help with breathing for baby IF they have fluid

complete medial and minimus gluteal tears.
I’m currently booked in to have my gluteal tears repaired. I told the surgeon I had PMR but he didn’t seem very interested. I’m just worried whether my shoulders and other hip will withstand the 6 weeks on crutches required. Also is there any evidence that the tears are caused by taking pred. im currently

Mortons Neuroma
Hi All I'm having a guided by ultrasound steroid injection for neuroma in my foot. Really not looking forward to this but hopefully it will help. Can I just ask what footwear I should wear to the procedure and how well will I be able to walk afterwards? I've been told I can't drive for 6 hours

Request sedation for a cortisone injection
So today I got some more bad news. I had my hip replacements checked as my newest one has been causing me a lot of pain. On my CT it showed that I have arthritis in my sacroiliac joint. Yet again, another joint that is either dysplastic or has arthritis. Did I mention I had two hip replacements at 25

Worried about hand
I'd like some advice please. I have had RA damaging my hands and wrists for a long time, but I've never experienced anything like this before. My 2nd and 3rd fingers hang down, they won't straighten. My hands been like this for months. It feels like something's snapped, torn or disintegrated on the back

Was I wise
Currently on 3.5mg. Rheumatoid arthritis has shown itself in both hands and is very painful. GP said 'I could give you a steroid injection but I don't expect you want that'. I said not - the word 'steroid' frightened me as I am afraid it will be play havoc with the Pred. Was I right to reject his offer

Osteoarthritis in SI joints
Anyone found helpful treatment for OA in the SI joints? I exercise, stretch daily and have had steroid injections. Otc nasid's help a bit but I don't feel comfortable taking them daily.

5 weeks after foot surgery
Well 5 weeks ago I had surgery on both feet. A toe fusion on one foot & a an amputation of the toe end on the other foot. It’s not been easy but I’m getting there. The fusion was going to be a tendon release but continuing to a fusion if the release didn’t work. That’s ok it’s what we agreed but it

Not sure what to expect?
Hi all I’ve managed to get an appointment with the Rheumy nurse today f2f. I started on Sulfasalazine just over 2 years ago, I was slow to improve and had steroid injections to help along the way. I changed trusts after one year due to lack of appointments and just general mayhem prompted by my GP.
