Granulomas

And I wasn't even trying to be funny!

It's still funny today. I'm gonna share it with my friends later on.

I can relate to that one Phil. Lol.

Thanks Jack and Sangye, would like to know about these lumps they are on both sides of my spine and on my upper thighs. My back becomes very painful when ever I do anything and pain radiates down my legs. It has got to the stage where I have to brace myself for incredible pain just to do minor housework. If I sit for about 15 minutes the pain goes away but recommences when I become active again. This has also happened at shopping centres and I have to find a chair to sit or I cant walk. I know I have problems with my back in the past but this is just debilitating. Will chat more to the doc about it. He did mention having cortisol injections but I would like to avoid that if I can while Im on these medications. The extra weight gain since commencing meds may also be a contributing factor.

I had ganglions between two fingers and one on the sternum. That's the one that sent me to the doctor and started all this.. They both went away when I started meds but both came back when I stopped the pred. They are just there I guess, no one seems worried about them.

Col, please make sure they properly diagnose your back pain. You don't have a cortisone-shot deficiency, that's for sure! Cortisone injected into joints damages the cartilage.
