Hello, has anyone received injections to the joints for pain management/ a type of steroid.
Did the medicine cause weigh gain?
Did this make a difference with pain level or help with fatigue?
I can no longer take asprin, ibuprofen nor Tylenol. Primary doctor referred me to pain management specialist.

Hi Blue I have had injections in both knees and hips for pain relief. I honestly can say that I didn't notice any difference in my weight, The pain relief worked in both areas, but only for a period of weeks. However, I do feel it was worth it. In addition I take Amitriptyline 10mg at bedtime and this helps with pain when I move in bed as it wakes me up. Neither the injections nor the Amitriptyline help with fatigue. I take hydroxichloroquine as I have Lupus which helps a little with fatigue, but it depends on your conditions. I found the Pain Management people at the clinic understanding and helpful so good luck

Nortiptyline 10mg to help with sleep and with pain. The fatugue is the worse to cope with, its tuff. I also have lupus; and some days hydroxichloroquine helps a little with fatigue then some days the fatigue whens and Im in bed all day. I hope you feel better soon
