Quite a day with medical appointments. I saw a GP this morning about my ongoing pain in my left shoulder and she seemed to think it was due to my AS as I've had problems now for 6 years or so. It could be that I tore a muscle and made it worse recently when I put my car into reverse the other day and felt something go. So time for more physio treatment and another steroid injection, goodie!! sigh! I also mentioned the pain in my legs, knees, foot etc.. and again seems to be because of my AS with my body flaring up after having stomach flu in August. It seems that my immune system has been attacking my joints and muscles since the flu.
Also saw the physio at Bognor hospital who talked to me about the drug Humira and how it works. I had to sit down and mark on a sheet of paper how bad my pain and tiredness has been over the last week. He has agreed that I need to go on this drug so is putting my aplication through and should here further in a month or so.
In the meantime I've got to wait for my dad to have his radiotherapy dates through and his operation procedure dates through for his bowel treatment. I just hope he hears soon as my mum is getting more and more frustrated and going spare not knowing. Starting to worry about her health.
