You will probably be started on a DMARD such as methotrexate and/or sulfasalazine … try not to worry, these are well researched, tried and tested drugs and you will start to feel better with the right combination.

Sending positive vibes xx
Just to say Col&Ali and I have different answers to the steroid question

If you are getting a long acting steroid injection usually in your behind you are fine to drive

Steroid injections into the joints you need to rest afterwards so better not drive

I usually get the 1st every 6 months but mine have been stopped due to covid
