Do steroid injections help with pain?
Comments

1986, 60 mg a day for 3 years , followed two years later, by another 2 years of 60 mg a day, resulted in a diagnosis of osteoporosis 15 years laters. All I will say is monitor the dose. I have had steroid injections in my shoulders, and even my thumb joints. They work,-but... And there is always a but where medication is concerned.

Your right there.
In 1976 I was diagnosed with Grand Mal Epilepsy-(lost job blah blah).
I was put on phenobarbitone,Epanutin and other drugs.
About 12 years ago I was referred to a consultant because of leg pain, in the process It was found that I had no vitamin D whatever in my body.
The damage had been done, I was diagnosed with osteoperosis, rheuhmatoid arthritis, and inflammatory arthritis on top of this scoliosis of the spine and diverticular disease togeather with kidney problems.
I take heaps of treatment.
.Ive just retired a year ago, but I try and be positive about my many complex conditions,which come and go-I just think that there are people out there worse off than me---Just dont give up I say.!!(well thats easy for me to say):)

I'm seeing a consultant on Tuesday I'm really hoping for an answer instead of just being told try this take these pills and suffer would rather know what I'm suffering from
