Leg Pain pt 3
Writing again because one of you lovely people suggested I saw my MRI results for myself. She was right, my doctor said it was wear and tear in the back. Keep taking the painkillers and walk. But I did see the results and it is Grade 1 degenerative spondylolisthesis. He did not suggest physio. But

Cortisol levels
Well, I had the short synathacen test two weeks ago and a call from the rheumatologist on Monday. Apparently it was 368 after 30 minutes and 438 after 1 hour. The rheumatologist was bit downbeat about that result saying he was hoping for 450 plus, and also saying that it 'might come back' but also seemed

anyone have achy legs
I’m learning so much from reading everyone’s posts. Unfortunately I am still trying to figure out what is going on with my legs. I know I have a component of RLS as my legs feel like a “current” is running through them when I am sitting for long periods, watching Tv in evenings and laying in bed.

Sciatica
Hi all. I have been suffering with back pain for several years. In regards to medication, you name it, I've tried it. I've have two lots of steroid injections which had no effect whatsoever and then finally in 2022 I had radio frequency ablation which was brilliant. I had instant relief from this. I

steroid injections
I had a steroid injection in my low back yesterday. This was to help nerve pain I have been having in my thigh. Today, could I use the steroid from this having this shot of steroid from this injection as a way to decrease my daily steroid by 1/2- 1mg.? Will that work? Hope that makes sense😊

Waking from sleep with upper abdominal pain for hours at a time
Does anyone have experience of this? Any advice very welcome. I wake from sleep with a slight discomfort, it builds and builds until I have to stand up very straight just to get a tiny bit of relief. Crouching and slow shuffling around also helps very slightly but sitting or lying down is excruciating

Atorvastatin
Ive found that taken at night my dose causes morning headaches which are not alchol related!! Taken in the morning with other meds causes no adverse effects, well at least nothing noticable. I also take steroids & inhaler for copd and Amlodipine for raised BP along with Omeprazole for gut protection

Tattoo /steroids
My rheumatologist mentioned I might need steroid injections into my feet/toes specifically (guided by ultrasound). I have a large foot tattoo (well, I have fairly small feet but tattoo is across a fairly large proportion). She said they'd inject just beside it. I'm quite anxious about damaging my tattoo
