Shoulder pain
This is my first post...I am 66 years old, have had OA for many years but was diagnosed 18 months ago with Sero negative RA and am now on a good cocktail of mtx, folic acid, naproxen. Paracetamol, Enbrel, Bu Trans patches and Hydroxychloroquine. The RA is now quite well controlled although I do need

See, I knew I was right. It's RA flare not OA!
Some of you may remember from my last posts that I have been off MTX for 6 months due to chest infections. Have been flaring in knee and elbow and finally managed to get an earlier appointment with my Rheumy to try to sort out some new medication. However, Rheumy did not think my pain was due to RA but

Newly diagnosed - when to take meds?
After thinking I may have RD for over a year, it was finally confirmed yesterday. I did see a locum rheumie last year but I think there was a mix up as the consultant yesterday asked why I'd never had a follow up appointment. Anyway, that's irrelevant now. I'm being started on DMARD combination therapy

Newly Diagnosed
Hi-- I was diagnosed with RA and severe carple tunnel in both hands on Friday. Felt quite relieved to finally find out what was causing the horrid symptoms I have had for the past 4 years. I was given a steroid injection on Friday, andwas wondering if anyone knows how long it will take to kick in. Thanks

Steroid injection and leg cramps
Hi, I had a steroid injection in my bum 2 days ago and last night I suffered terrible cramps in both calves, I haven't had leg cramps like that before so can't help thinking it's to do with the injection. Has anyone else had similar issues? I'm currently taking sulphasalazine, naproxen, omeprazole, gabapentin

RA
I've been taking methotrexate for 6 weeks now, got up to six 2.5 tablets a week and one folic acid tablet a week. Well I have to say that I felt sick and nauseous for at least 3 to 4 days from taking it. I was also feeling really dizzy and even fell down the stairs and bruised myself. Went back to hospital

Steroid injection
I had steroid injections in my stomach a few weeks ago to help with the pain. It was done by ultra sound and was quite painful at the time and for a week or so after but I can honestly say that I am feeling a lot better and the pain isn't as intense. The old swelly belly is also less swollen!!! So I

Steroid injection
Morning everyone. Quick question, how long does a steroid injection last roughly? I had one three weeks ago & yesterday my joints were bad, although I'm fine today so was just wondering how long should I expect it to last. Thanks x

Steroid Injections
After a couple of years of yo-yo Alopecia I wrote to my doctor quoting a couple of 'miracles' that had been reported in the papers. One woman had taken steroids for a chest infection and her Alopecia Totalis went and she now has a full head of hair. The second miracle was a Rheumatoid Arthritis drug
