Has anyone had problems with the tendons in their hands causing stiffness and trigger fingers especially at night time?
I'm having this problem and has occurred since my transplant a year ago (today). Hands stiffen up at night and have had at least 3 fingers triggering. Had a couple of steroid injections in both hands a few months back which seemed to have fixed things, but it has come back and now need an operation to

Hi, I'm new to this! I was refered by GP to rheumatologist sept 3rd and I just had my second appointment on tuesday.
On the first appoinment I had just got back from a month in the south of france and felt quite good, so when he asked questions I gave answers based on how I was that day. He organised xrays, bloods and refered me for a bone scan. I had the bone scan a couple of weeks later and the scanner asked

When can I run with posterior tibial tendonitis?
I have been diagnosed with ptt after months of arch pain in my left foot. I thought wrongly that it was plantar fasciitis. I have had a steroid injection in my big toe joint and am waiting for some custom orthotic inserts. When can I begin running again? I was up to week 8 of c25k for the second time

How common is it for joints to self-fuse after they have been damaged by long-term RA (well managed now but I have damaged joints)?
Does anyone know? I now have another joint (bits of my ankle/navicular bone) self fusing and I wondered if this is something anyone else has experience of? I now have one fused wrist, one partially-fused other wrist, 2 finger joints, top of foot and as of yesterday I found out I seem to have a partially

Folic Acid ... what dose???
Well I thought I'd post about folic acid as there are such variations in the doses we all take it might be helpful to some, following an experience at my GPs today!! That and Tilda told me too, ha ha not really but she did think it was a good question. So having been started on mtx I was prescribed

Not sure whether to have another steroid injection??
Hi everyone, well finally the steroid injection I had on 25th July has worn off completely :(( The last few weeks I've been getting grumbly joints but last week I realised that it must have stopped working altogether. Still it's done me pretty well. The bad bit is because you feel so much better when

Synovectomy, radiotherapy or add methotrexate ?
Hi I've been give 3 options synovectomy or radiotherapy injected to dissolve the fluid sack or add methotrexate to my meds. My knee flared up in June and won't go down I've had steroid injections that haven't worked, so would like to know if anyone has had any luck with either and how long it lasted.

Info please: wondering about my "tissue bleeds"
I guess there are other names for these haemorrhages deep under the skin. Mine aren't like what's called "blood blisters" cause mine are deeper in my soft tissues. I get these mainly in my hands & feet. Maybe 1 every 3 weeks or so, but lately more like 1 per week. They come on without any "friction
