Well, my theory of being ok for the first week after doing my Imraldi injection has been blown out of the water well and truly. Woke up at about 5:30am this morning with terrible neck pain, which is also affecting the top part of my back and shoulders. Along with the pain, I have got like a high-pitched sound in my head. Not too sure what is causing it. Think it could very well be a trapped nerve, more or less curtain about that, but could be wrong.  This better go soon, doing my head in. What a way to start a new week. I am pleased I got out yesterday to see a friend whose birthday it was and his dog, Jet.

Health Latest, posted 3rd July 2021 Well, Thursday just gone I did my 2 weekly injection, Imraldi (that's its brand name, I can spell that with no problems!), as normal, it hurts, but its nothing compared to how things turn out any number of days AFTER doing it. It was Wednesday 30th June, the day before the injection. I woke up with slight back pain, which normal for me on a scale of 1 to 10 about a 4. Everything was going fine for the first few hours, I pottered about the flat doing this and that. I managed to get out for some fresh air, a quick wobble around the block and back.  Got in and felt a bit sleepy, so had a nap, as it was warm, I decided to lay down in the bedroom, it is always nice and cool in there. A few hours later I was awoken by a sharp shooting pain in my back up to my neck and across to my shoulders, on my scale it was either an 8 or 9. I had to get to my pain killers and quick, which is not easy. Anyway, the pain kept at that level until about 10pm when it sta

Phil's Video Blog 205 - Just a walk on this video blog. A gentle stroll on a hillside above Crynant.  Bit cloudy, but a gentle breeze and a lot of wild flowers and plants. Just over half way through the stroll my left and right hips started hurting.

Health Update - 18th June 2021 So, following an MRI scan the other week, today I had a telephone consultation with a specialist from the hospital. Confirmed, I have Osteoarthritis in my back to go with my Ankylosing Spondylitis (which my 2 weekly injection works on, which explains towards the end of the two weeks I am in more pain). It is due to wear and tear.  The specialist asked if I have ever lifted anything heavy on a regular basis when I was working, as far as I know I have never lifted anything on a regular basis! They want to do more investigating when they open up for appointments again.  The specialist likes my way of describing things. Every day pain (that's the osteo) bad day pain (when it's a really bad flair up). The specialist noticed some things had been written in my notes but no follow up on them.  He wants to find out why and get further investigations done, Fibromyalgia being one of them. I like this specialist.  He is pleased I am doing light exercises, and
