Hi. I just want to let you know that I am a dish patient as well, and have found some relief with steroid spine block injections, and steroid epidural’s. I have also had the injections in my shoulders, because I have bone spurs in both shoulders, and I also have osteoarthritis as well as dish. I am able to work full-time. It is not perfect, but it keeps you going. I have also found that aqua therapy or exercises in the water are helpful to keep your body moving. Unfortunately lately I have not been able to get in the water but I will get back in the water as soon as I can. I wish you luck and make sure you read as much as you can about this disease. It’s important that you can educate physicians who really don’t know about this disease. I found that rheumatologist and spine specialist knew the most about it. Be well!
