Dispersible voltarol
Hi, my mum was diagnosed with RA at 17 and through many surgeries and personal strength has done so well over the years. But now is in too much pain and is getting very limited support. She can no longer take normal tablets and has to take dispersible ones. Shes been told she can no longer have the voltarol

Personal Trainer sessions
Hey everybody, My DR advised me that loosing weight and exercise will ''help'' with my fibro but due to my weight I struggle with self-esteem (Size 14/16). I lost a lot of weight previously going from a size 22 to a small size 10, but I've quickly chucked the weight back on which I feel is putting strain

New shoes but not for today
As per "the rules" I am posting a pic of my new shoes. Cost a fortune, half a wet suit! but getting birthday money soon to help:) However since the last run, after which my left foot & ankle were hurting, a friend has visited and walking round exhibitions and museums had me doing the MICE & Voltarol

Injured my lower back
I was brushing my dog yesterday, she's a Setter, so quite strong. She had a lot of matted fur that I couldn't do anything with, so I had to cut it out, which she hates. She kept pulling me around, and now my lower back is really painful. she was literally running away from me when I was trying to cut

Voltarol on knees, and all went ok aching a bit now calfs feel tight but I did do stretches but hopefully all will be repaid by Wednesday. It certainly helps to read all the inspiring posts on here I read them before my run to psych myself up!

At my wits end.
I have oseoarthritis in my right hip and severe coxidynia. I have tried steroid injections, Ibuprofen, voltaren, and other anti- inflammatory medications. They take the edge off the pain but it never goes away. I have also visited a chiropractor, osteopath and physiotherapist. Nothing seems to help.

Hydroxychloroquin has helped to reduce Steroids
Hydroxychloroquin or HCQ has worked very well as an alternative to Methrotroxate for me. It is not as toxic and has no real side effects. I was struggling to reduce from 60mg. I couldn't get below 20 without a flare up. It does take about 3 to 4 weeks to fully get into the system but I have now been

Ankles and Feet + medications/alternatives
I have read a few posts where people have bad issues with ankles and feet and I am one of those people, I was wondering what people are doing to relieve this situation, I started swimming, as recommended by rheumatologist, and had too stop because my ankles at the joint became very painful so I am not

PMR - Would appreciate feedback.
Hi All, If we wait for science to find a cause and cure for PMR I think we will be waiting a long time! I believe the answer will come from people like you and me, the ones with a vested interested and a motivation to make a break-through for the benefit of all. I should add I have achieved this on

Thumb pain
Does anyone else suffer with pain at the base of the thumb? I have been getting this for the last few weeks, it's painful trying to grip anything with my left hand, as I am left-handed this is becoming a problem especially with washing up, (no dishwasher at the moment). I have tried Voltarol rub and

Rosacea or Seborrhoeic Dermatitis

Using Voltaren topical ointment for peripheral neuropathy
I had my first chemo in 2009 and additional sessions in 2014. One of the side effects for me has been numbness in the feet and lower legs when I lie prone. Sleep has been an issue. I need to get up every three hours or so to get my feet and legs back to normal. I've just discovered that Voltaren

Introduction from a newbie
Hi, thought it was about time to introduce myself. I’m a 62 year old male, I consider myself to be fit and healthy, having said that I was diagnosed with Type II diabetes in 2003. I was fortunate enough to control it by diet initially but it wasn’t long before I needed medication. I currently take Metformin

Dexascan
I was diagnosed with PMR in Sept 2015 and put on Prednisolone and Omeprazole, Calcium and Vit D, and AA. I am at last getting a Dexascan next week to see if I really need AA, I stopped taking it last Oct after reading comments on this forum. Also stopped taking Calcium as a blood test revealed high Calcium

I'm a newbie here
Hello all. I need a little advice and support, because I feel like I'm at the end of my tether. Just under three years ago I was given a diagnosis of PMR as I had awoken one morning with joint stiffness from head to toe. I responded very well to a high dose (30mg) of pred, but relapsed as soon as any

New here. Would like info on bone mets....
Hi everyone. I'm 67 and was first diagnosed with lobular bc, very tiny, in 2012. Left Breast. Had a lumpectomy and radiation. One sentinel node had Metastisis but it was felt that I didn't need chemo. 2014 pain in ribs led to finding of bone mets to spine, pelvis, and ribs. We believe that it had already
