Steroid injection and surgery
Hi all , I'm just wondering if anyone knows how long you have to wait after steroid injection in the bottom before having gallbladder removal I've been told operation will be in 2 to 3 mths unless a cancellation comes in. But a friend said I'll have to wait 3mths now

Anesthesia and PD
I’m planning on having Morton’s neuroma surgery in a few weeks, unless I chicken out! I’m concerned about any negative effects because of anesthesia . I’m going to check to see if doing some type of block instead of General, is a possibility. Has anyone had that operation, or have experience with different

Taking Betmiga with Pred for Urine Control?
Just wondered if anyone takes Betmiga (Mirabegron) for better urine control and if it is advisable? Since having PMR from 2022 I have frequency and urgency bladder issues, particularly at night. I would love to sleep the night through or travel without angst! While I am on, glad to say I had the

cataract surgery and prednisolone dose
This morning I had my eyes tested. This time last year I was told I had the beginnings of a cataract in my left eye, due to prednisolone. Today I was told that, thanks to prednisolone, the cataract is now ready for surgery. I said I didn't want it yet, because I am trying to get my prednisolone dose

Is there a link with taking Forstair and cataracts?
I was diagnosed with late onset asthma just before the first Covid lockdown. My eyes were always fine until then, but within a year of taking Forstair I was diagnosed with cataracts in both eyes. My research suggests the steroid in the inhaler might be responsible, but it has been dismissed by my GP

UPDATE ON CATARACT SURGERY
Hi all! Had my right eye done yesterday. Seems to have gone very well. Easy peezy. Good drugs. Took about 20 minutes at the most. Everything is so much brighter today. I can now see the dirt on my floors. Nasty! I didn't realize how difficult reading was and my specs weren't helping. Lol. I do have 3

upcoming cataract surgery
Any advice? do I take prednisone after surgery since I will be fasting overnight? How long do I have to wait until I can bend over? Does it take longer to heal with prednisone? I'm on 3 mg.

Finger misbehaving (!) ...Ulnar Deviation
Hello, I recently noticed my middle finger has gone bent towards the pinky finger. I couldn't believe my eyes and did internet search. It happens to people with RA and Lupus. A bit shocking. I have been doing mild squeezing exercise daily to help increase my hand strength. I think it may be due to

GCA Concerns, Cold and Eyes
I hope everyone had as wonderful a Christmas as I did, despite our health battles. I flew to Arkansas where 2 of my adult kids and 4 of my grandkids live. 2 other adult kids and their spouse and fiancé came, and it’s been a wonderful time. A cold was going around, and I caught it. Just the sniffles,

Tapering with PMR, Osteoporosis, Gall Bladder (new) and upcoming Cataract Surgery (second eye)
I feel like crap. I don't feel I should be tapering anything at this point. Was just in hospital for 3 days end of April. Gall bladder is shot. I've done something to my back, but since GP can not find xray results from May 10th (eye roll) or blood work from May 14, I'm not sure what's going on with

Cataract surgery due to steroid medication
Hi all, I have Minimal Change Disease and have been on various doses of prednisolone since Nov 22. I've now got cataracts and my right eye needs surgery. I'm 39 and most of the information online seems targeted at older patients. Can anyone offer advice? For instance I'm used to wearing glasses for short-sightedness

neck pain with clicking and popping when I move
I've had clicking and popping and pain in the muscles of my neck for a couple of months . I just figured it was a stiff neck from reading and looking down and it would go away. My PMR is under control at 3.5 mg . Just had a small flare so went up to 8 mg for 6 days. It did not change how my neck felt

Has anyone any experience of this? Did it help if so? A YAG capsulotomy is a special laser treatment used to improve the vision after cataract surgery.
