Arthritis - anyone any experiences? - Page 8

I was really impressed with how Daisy coped with NYE and even more so when she mentioned she was in a bit of pain but seemingly trying to fight through it before getting dosed up the morning after.

Fingers crossed what you've got is enough to keep it at bay until the results come back and fingers crossed you get some answers then.

In the meantime, *hugs* all around.

Another update, I hope people don't mind. It's helpful to keep track and this is as good a place as any

Spoke to PaedSpecialist today as Daisys 5 days on the good painkillers are up. He said to keep giving them to her but he wants to see her sooner than the appointment on the 27th. He still hasn't got all of her results (3 outstanding apparently) but given her deterioration he's not happy to leave it two more weeks (I dont know where I got less than two weeks from in the last update, it's the 27th!! lol).

The painkillers are helping lots. We're not using the codeine much other than at night which is good and she has much better mobility. But when she has the pain its in new places as well as the old faithfuls...her hips caused her a lot of pain two nights ago and she mentioned her neck and elbows in passing today.

Oh wel, we've all enjoyed a few nights sleep anyway.....

Fingers crossed the appointment is very soon

I'm glad you've both managed to get some sleep

Here's hoping the appointment is soon !

Glad you have all got some sleep

At least she isn't in as much pain and the doctors know that they need to keep on top of this instead of leaving it for a long time between appointments

*Hugs*

Don't be silly - of course we don't mind. What sort of friends would we be if we did?

Here's hoping for a quick appointment and answers.

poor darling!
My mom has rheumatoid arthritis and for her it's been rough. She has a few other health issues as well which does not help. She actually just had surgery to fix her toes, which have been crooked for years. I do not have experience with any other kind of arthritis however. Definately having her see a doc ASAP is the best plan of action. They can get her on a plan to deal with it.
Best wishes... I am so sorry this has happened to her and to you.

I'm having a 'cant cope' day. Daisy woke up with her head a bit on the wonk because of her neck and she's constantly sayingit's clicking and painful. She's had to have codeine for the 2nd morning running and I had to carry her to school again for the first time in about 4 school days. I think I have PMT which always makes everything seem a bit crapper than it is but I blubbed in the car for about 20 minutes

Arse, blubbing now too! lol!

Waiting for a call from the docs today. Hurry up!
