Seen gp today, no answer for dent in my forehead/also calf pain not achilles.
Posted , 5 users are following.
Seen my dr today. Had to get my bloods done as well. My gp didn't know anything about the dent in my forehead, she seen it and felt it. She asked did I fall, my reply was no. Steroids thin the skin, I know that. Also mentioned about a terrible ache in both calves muscles when I put trainers on and try to walk a couple of yards. She asked was the ache in both calfes and I said yes, her reply was then it's not achilles. She is going to chase the rheumotologist up as I haven't seen one yet. It was endocrinology who made the referral to a Rheumatalogist so gp is going to chase it up. I feel I am going it alone, other than this website, I would be totally lost. My gp is good she was off when I was going for pain relief and was still undiagnosed and then diagnosed by a locum dr. in the practice. I am at the end of my tether, I cannot even go for a walk, I know it will pass but it's in the meantime that's grating on my nerves. Thanks in advance folks.

Have you started on Prednisolone? I certainly had similar pain in my legs before steroids, but not since.

I can drive and walk in heels in shopping malls without a problem, it's just when I put trainer and go out to walk I get a couple of yards and then my calfs start to pull/ache and I have to get home. Thanks again. Pat

I havno pain my calf muscles, but several times when out walking my ankle has given way and I have had to limp home.I am sure this is caused by the steoids and I am reducing them monthly. Am now down to 6mg from 40mg 18months ago.

I have a dent in my forehead too but it is caused by fluid retention. Stupid place to be gathering fluid!! But if I press it at all, it dents.
