I think my Steroid injection has been giving me some relief finally as for the last 2 weeks my pains have been a bit easier.It has taken 2 weeks to kick in but my pains have become less painful so I am hoping it stays this way as I'm due back to hospital on Tuesday, I most likely will get my new meds then, fingers crossed I'm not just having a lucky couple weeks as I would like to return to work again sometime soon once its back under control ,once I decide what I will be able to do now as I had to give my job up, lifting heavy things is now a definate No No as my hands are my worst affected at the moment.I really hope things will start to look up a bit I've felt a different person and not felt so sorry for myself lately too.

    Excellent news. I hope Tuesday goes well.

    Thankyou pains are still there but just much more manageable thankfully so trying to make the most of it while I can without setting it off.

    If they work then they're good. I hope the reduction in pain lasts a good while longer and to help that happen don't over-do things, OK? DD

    Thanks Dream i've learnt that from the past how not to over-do it as I suffered from that before for over doing it.
