Oh I'm so sorry to hear that. I hope the codeine helps with the pain, and that they manage to get the arthritis under control too.
I hate it too. It's a revolting disease at any age but seeing children suffer is the pits.0 -
HI Jordan'smum
sorry things are so bad for Jordan right now ..... and I really do know what you mean about hating the disease at times ..... but at least he's got a dedicated Rheumy team who are doing everything they can to get on top of things for him
I really hope that the steroids will help a lot .... when I've taken them they have really helped my joints. Unfortunately my body didn't appreciate their side effects so I don't take them now
hugs

Hi, I hope that the codeine helps and enables Jordan to enjoy his holiday. Had the doc given him meds to counteract constipation as this can be an unpleasant side effect and you don't want to add to his problems. Hope MRI date comes through soon. Arthritis is an evil disease isn't it.
SpeedyI have had OA since mid twenties. It affects my hips and knees. I had a THR on the left aged 30 and now have a resurface-replacement on the right - done May 2010.0 -
cheer's speedy will keep an eye open for the constipation it's a good job he's young and doesn't have to pay for all his meds his baggage allowence will be taken up with all of them lol0
