Apparently people with lupus dont need painkillers!!

OA causes? Does it matter?
I have, as many of you know, been fighting hip arthritis for 15 years. MRI reveals that there is bone on bone places now which prompts all the docs who see it to point and say "See. Time for surgery." And yes, I know it probably is time for surgery. My Duke rheumy wants me to try steroid injections

Does anyone else get very good results with Naproxen?
Hi all, I used to take Naproxen alongside Mtx. It was prescribed for pain relief more than anything so as I didn't have much pain I only ever took 500 mg a day rather than the prescribed 1000mg. About 8 weeks ago I stopped taking it altogether for the same reason. The Rheumy nurse who helped me

Rheumy appointment today 12th march
Hi everyone, I have sarcoidosis, asthma and signs of emphysema, plus other medical problems. I have been suffering with my joints for the last 12 months and have been told by the Rheumy that he thinks it is related to my sarcoidosis . My question is, does anyone suffer the same and if so what treatment
