Re: Soft tissue inflammation

[Guest guest]

My doctor's knows, and because it is not constant, when it does bother me I take

ibuprofen or tylenol and that usually takes care of it.  I know that the

prednisone masked some of that because i would notice more " aches " when I went

off of the prednisone.  Still have some of those aches from time to time, but I

am not too surprised at my age.  I have no aches or pains that keep me from

doing what I need to do and most of the time what I want to do!

We did an informal survey on this group a number of years ago, and

many of us had family members with arthritis and tissue issue issues

(augh). anywho, it is important to talk to your doctor about this b/c

it may be as much a factor of genetic components and/or predisposition

to inflammatory responses in general.

I have more trouble with my right foot and ankle and my right hand

since starting Xolair. However, this also coincides with me no longer

havng to take pred on a regular basis, and surely the prednisone would

have been masking any other type of inflammation in addition to

working on my sinuses and lungs. Since my mother and my grandmother

have and have had severe arthritis and osteo-inflammatory issues

(sorry if its' the wrong term), I'm confident that that is a genetic

issue for me, and so is my doctor.

Just to clarify, my soft tissue inflammation is daily. If I don't

take Advil or Celebrex I get very stiff and sore in my muscles,

ligaments and tendons. But, primarily the stiffness and pain (from

inflammation) is at the sight of " overuse injury " due to exercise

and sports. The only other issue is that my feet are always sore

first thing out of bed, but feel better after walking around for a

little while. The issue is that I had minor degrees of this before

Xolair, but now the levels of stiffness and pain have increased.
