Pain Advice
I ve been in various degrees of pain these past seven months and my doctor ( private via insurance) attributed it to a prolapsed disc causing back pain and right leg sciatica. Hes recommended me to have a steroid injection. My back pain has now settled.
Aside from this ..the pain and swelling in my left knee has persisted and following a blood test, my GP says i have RA and referred me to a constant rheumatologist.
Do you think I should go ahead with the epidural injection? Or wait to see what the rheumatologist says?
I would wait for the Rheumatologist unless it is a long wait or the pain is too much to handle. Steroid injections are hit or miss and steroids aren't really good for you anyway. It also could alter your results on blood tests with the Rheumatologist making it more difficult to get a diagnosis and treatment.
Sorry it sounds like you have RA. What really stinks is that you could have RA plus the disc problem and sciatica. Hope you get some relief soon.
I was diagnosed with back-pain and was given some insoles by my podiatrist. The insoles did not work in all my shoes and I got blisters on my heels. I was in a lot of pain and could not exercise or even go for a walk. I saw an ad for orthofeet shoes online and I was interested. I was so excited to get my pair because of all the great reviews and I was hopeful that they would work for me also. From day 1 they were amazing, so comfortable, no pain when walking or exercising. My back-pain has even improved and now I am interested in trying different orthofeet styles not just for exercise.
pain is a common problem with many causes, from acute injuries to complications of medical conditions.It can be also solved by using orthofeet Avery Island – Black shoes which reduces your pains and make you feel more comfortable. That’s why people are mostly orthofeet shoes it is not only providing shoes but also reducing the pain caused in legs to the people.
I am on my feet all day and by evening they are hurting. I am still breaking them in but foot pain is decreasing. My feet feel snug and supported. The arch support is very noticeable and feels good. Will be trying sandals also. orthofeet sneakers felt great as soon as i put them on. I am walking several miles a day and even started running some.
