Hello!
Hello! Good to share with people who really know what arthritis feels like! At times it can feel invisible and associated fatigue makes us feel pathetic. I’m a glass half full person and after over 30 years of RA and family support I’ve learnt many tricks to keep on going. However advancing age and

Hello everyone, I feel like a new member of a club that no one wants to be in but hey ho here we are. I went to my GP mid May to discuss my suspicions that I have RA (middle knuckle of one finger swollen so that my finger won't straighten and a lump on my knee which may or may not be related to the RA

Fractures, daily painkillers continuous
For those that have had fractures in the spine, and are now on daily painkillers or daily medication, what do you take and who do you do on it? I started fracturing 6 years ago and think i have just fractured again (x ray just taken), in agony with what I assume is muscle spasms getting in and out of

Life with fractures, help in the UK
I am in the UK and, at the moment, I am overwhelmed with pain from what I believe is another fracture. I started fracturing 6 years ago and dont feel that I am under anyone in particular who can help with day to day living etc. So far we have spent out on a chairlift (£5000) and an adjustable bed

Sore Throat
I have a sore throat right at the base of my throat where my thyroid is. It’s particularly sore in the night. Could it be my thyroid or just a random sore throat? My tonsils and throat area are slightly red, but nothing major. My current dose is T4 100mcg and T3 18.75. What can I do about it? Painkillers

How to persuade GP?
I have an appointment with my GP soon and I'm planning to ask for a referral to a rheumatologist - how to I get her to refer me? I saw her previously and focused on my most problematic area, my spine. The x-ray apparently indicates wear and tear arthritis but symptomatically I don't fit that diagnosis

Circumscision Super painful
hello I am 18 and had Circumscision 2 days ago it is so painful I’m on strong painkillers but I can’t have anything touch it and I’m still yet to have a shower as it’s unbearable. There’s lots of dry blood and I’m supposed to apply an antibiotic ointment but I just can’t bring myself to apply as it’s

Treat Your Body Pain more Effectively
Pain O Soma 500mg (carisoprodol) is often used as a muscle relaxant. The drug works by preventing painful sensations from being transmitted between the brain and the nerves. Pain relievers like Soma 500mg are needed, as well as rest and physical rejuvenation. https://buysafemg.com/Pain-O-Soma-500mg

Swollen Legs summary, Zytiga failed, scheduled for Docetaxel
Dear all, Thank you for the responses on the last two Swollen legs posts in regards to my fathers health. I feel obligated to share the latest info. At least I can do since you gave me so much things to think about. Finally yesterday we were able to see my fathers oncologist. Unfortunately, as I said

Pregabalin not working so GP has put me on Duloxetine. I am confused!
After some months of endless nights of 2 hours sleep, (after a lifetime of RLS I'm now 74) on an increasing dose of Pregabalin to 450mgs, then back to 300mgs, plus oral iron to raise my ferritin (27), I finally phoned my GP and told him the sorry tale including how I fell asleep standing up one night

behavior changes
My mom is in a nursing home, along with PSP she also has a lot of
pain
due to
arthritis
and back issues. She has become so mean and bitter. She lashes out, blaming me and my dad for her situation. She says vile things and is constantly kicking her feet and making bizarre movements.
