Haven't Posted in a While but Having Trouble

[Guest guest]

Hi All,

Well I kind of had to drop out of sight because I have been so busy with the

baby who is doing well. Can you believe he is already four months old?

Everything RA-wise had been going fine, some what I call " stray " pains here

and there, but nothing too bad. Yesterday, I got up to change Dylan and I had

some cramping in my right foot, well, it just kind of felt like my whole foot

had a

cramp throughout. A few hours later I couldn't walk on it at all. Then I got to

the point where I was dragging my foot along with me and was able to do the

normal stuff with the baby.

I decided to go to the ER, I hate doing that but I wanted to get it X-rayed. I

was actually hoping they would say I had broken it or sprained it because that

would heal at least but they believe it is my RA flaring! They

put me on crutches and told me to stay off of it for 3-5 days! How exactly do

you do that with an infant?

And what if I am not better in 3-5 days, then what???

I feel like my RA in my feet has not felt like this before. They ached and

swelled but I was always able to walk on them. Has anyone felt like a

crampiness throughout? My sore foot doesn't look much different from the

other one. Maybe this is just how its starting? I am hoping it doesn't go to

the

other foot.

I will call my Rheum. on Monday but I just wanted to see what you all thought.

I am on Humira, what else might he prescribe? What if it isn't RA?
