had my three monthly check up, last year my crp was 47 now <5, BUT pains in neck and shoulders, down my neck into my arms, and feet and hands swelling.

So going to have injections, in hands and bum on the 31st Jan 2019, going to go to a day ward, when i had my bum injectins before just went to see the nurse.

Has anyone else had this procedure done at all.

I am trying to reduce from 8mg to 7mg but not having any luck, the rhematologist was pleased with my bloods, but why the pain i asked, he thought it was more likely to be RA so trying the injections.

any thoughts anyone.

thank you

    What makes him think it might be RA? And what are the injections?
