Steroid injection

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

How long does IM depo medrone last?
Hi, Does anyone else get IM steroid injections. I had my last about a month ago and it made such a difference but today I feel exhausted again, with the knees and feet starting to get tender. I realize it could be the temperature and the fact we had a weekend visiting friends but I had been feeling so

Conflicting information
About 8 weeks ago I increased my MTX from 6 tablets to 8 per week on advice from Rhumy. About 6 weeks ago I had four swollen and red joints in my hands, I got a steroid injection and had expected my fingers to return to normal after it. They have not returned to normal and seem to go up and down,
