Arthritis Information -Safe Qty of Decadron Injections
I am a new member to this forum but have had rheumatoid arthritis for 14 years. I have had it basically under control until recently but have started needing multiple injections of decadron/triamen/zylocain recently and am still having pain. I try to exercise a lot and know this to be a key element to prevent inflammation and keep RA in check. I need your opinion/expertise in a couple areas.
1. My dr. feels there is no maximum number of injections. He feels treating the problem is the main concern. I have heard from others who state you run a risk of bone density when you receive too many. What are your thoughts or your dr.'s opinion on this?
2. I need a good RA doctor in the Marietta GA area. I had a great one who retired a few years ago. Since my meds and condition was in check, I did not need a good dr. until recently. Now that I have more of a problem, I need the best in the area.
Thanks for your help,
