well I saw the consultant yesterday and he says I do not have rheumatoid A but I do have osteo and Sjogrens syndrome and fibromyalgia, so is there anyone else around with these three problems, he suggested I have multiple injections in my hands and arms as these cause me most probs, it would be under GA, has anyone had this done? and isnt it rather painful afterwards for a while? I have had single injections before and they were sore for days, trying to find out as much as I can, any input would be very welcome,I also have to start being more active but I find exercise so boring any exciting suggestions??

    Hello Tawny

    I am sorry about your diagnosis - but pleased that you now have a diagnosis (if that makes sense) and that you have a way forward. I have Sjogrens, along with RA, so can't advise on the oa/fibro side of things. But hopefully, as Theresa says, others will be along soon with info to help you.

    Thinking of you,

    Love Tilly xxx

    Hi Tawny , I have OA,fibro, inflamatory arthritis ,sjorgens syndrome. I am seronegative so it as been hard work getting a diagnoses , has it been hard for you.? It as taken 3 years to get them to test me for inflamatory arthritis I had to have a second opinion .
    I have had lots of injections in my neck and shoulders, but never in my hands. but my neck is worse for me .
    I hope you feel better after your hands are sorted . It is good to talk to someone with the same problems as myself . Hope it all goes well ............jillyxx
