[QUOTE="JoKalsbeek, post: 1827858, member: 401801"] This Saturday my left shoulder joint became inflamed. It hurt like heck, and my bs went up 2 to 3 mmol compared with what is usual for me. On Sunday I started on diclofenac, an NSAID, and while it helped with the pain and lowered my bs some, I have stopped taking it today (Wednesday). The nose bleeds and blood coming from "elsewhere", are signals it's messing with my blood production and I shouldn't use them anymore. The pain at my liver area is another strong indicator. Paracetamol doesn't do anything for me now, sadly, so I'll try to see the doc this week, or the next. It'll probably be Friday, though I'm not sure how I'll manage that long. Odds are I'll get a corticosteroid injection in my shoulder, but I haven't had one of those since before diagnosis. (Then it was my hip though). I'm diet-controlled, no dia-meds, so... Any idea how badly it will affect my bs? Should I expect 20's when I'm usually between 4 and 7 these days? (Keto and IF). And how long could a rise due to such an injection last? Days, weeks? Any suggestions for alternative anti- inflammatory meds are welcome too, so I know what to discuss with the doc. I was on naproxen for a bit, but reading the side effects, it might be where the inflammation came from in the first place, so that one's out too... Thanks! Jo [/QUOTE]
