My thumb bones go out of place - I have to manipulate them back into their sockets. This has started to happen in some fingers, too. The bones just come out of their sockets. Rheumy said the bones are eroding. The shoulder bones are eroding, to, as they grind against the arm bone where the rotator cuff used to be. Has…
I received my new batch of meth injections three weeks ago and have injected two. Both have led to site reactions, a nicely rounded red but small itchy lump close to the puncture, which is sorted by a couple of Piriton. It's been years since this last happened, I am not unduly bothered but wondered if anyone else in here…
Having been diagnosed with widespread nodular OA more than 30 years ago I have succeeded in managing the symptoms and limitations quite successfully to date. Now in my early 70s I feel that I'm losing control and am being especially harassed by intermittent bouts of sciatica. The present bout, affecting right hip and leg,…
Apologies that this isn't arthritis related, but I know there are lots of wise heads on this forum! A few weeks ago I had a routine ultrasound for my kidney stones and kidney cyst. The kidney stones hadn't grown any bigger and neither had the cyst, so all is good and the urologist discharged me as they've been monitored…
So I somehow took a shovel to my big toenail. The nail bed is already purple and ripped and my toe swollen. It is very painful all the way down the toe joint to the middle of my insole. The toe joint with arthritis is throbbing and reallllllly hurts. I have been icing it. Can I take Ibuprofen if I am on Celebrex already…
Hi. I'm flying somewhere on Thursday next week. My etanercept day is usually Friday and I never got round to calling Healthcare at Home to ask for the letter I need to take it through the airport and not have it scanned etc. I expect I've left it a bit late now. So, would it be okay to just take it on the Thursday morning…
Well have had a call from the hospital and a cancellation has come up and now my Right TKR will be on the 23rd October!! Just a couple of weeks to wait! :shock:
Just wondering if anyone has had problems with their eyes when taking Hydroxy. I saw the Consultant last July and mentioned that my seems to have got worse in the last few months he wrote a letter to refer me to see a hospital ophthalmologist but I heard nothing. The nurse yesterday phoned his secretary to chase it up. I…
So sorry for being a stranger but been a busy bee on the site I help on and also been a bit under the weather! But I got a phone call yesterday afternoon from my hospital offering me a cancellation for my Right TKR operation. Of course I have accepted it so now booked in for the 13th November to have it done so not long to…
Apologies - this is two new topics in as many hours but another thing I'm wondering is whether there's a link between the joint inflammation I'm having and hair loss and eye problems I'm having at just the same time. Loads of hair coming out each time I wash it and I can't tolerate the contact lenses I've worn for ages and…
