Depo-medrone injection in buttock

Hi Old duck, I should say right up that I have not had this shot, I am a bit of an old duck too! Both my brother and I (we are in our seventies) have psoriatic arthritis. We have found that an anti-inflammatory diet is significant in symptom control, Specifically gluten seems to be a problem. For me also dairy and fructose (fruit sugar) are a problem, but I am obese whereas my brother has never had a weight problem. He was on methotrexate for a while but it laid him open to infections like pneumonia, Now he manages his inflammation with diet and short use when necessary of prednisolone., I have that but try not to use it, preferring nurofen, also on an intermittent basis. So I think that you might also find diet modification helpful, especially if you have reflux or bowel problems, Have a look at the FODMAP diet, That is the basis of what I will or will not eat, wendyloish
