Hi Laura, you dont say what you are taking. I can only say that your meds shouldn't be giving you stomach pain. You could call NHS direct or Out of Hours Surgery for some advice. Hope this helps.

Hi Laura, i think you are right to check with rhumy, I have to say fair play to you going back to work, we can't let this beat us can we? Hope your phone call tommorrow has a good outcome for you maybe they can change it for something different. Hope the injection site stops hurting soon. Take Care.

Hi Marlene thanks yeah can't let it beat us I work in a small care home and really love my job and when I first found diagnosis I was quite down but at the moment feel quite positive I was quite surprised the cortisone injection hurt that much actually but when it kicks in will be worth it:)

hi phoned rheumatology this morning and they told me it was probably a stomach bug before asking me to just take one tablet once daily i said i dont want to sound unreasonable but i wont take the tablets cos they have made me violently sick the nurse said she will talk to rheumatologist and get back to me

Hi Laura, there is some kind of stomach bug going around, some of my in-laws have had it. Hope you get sorted soon. Take Care.
