RE: Lila - RA pain return after surgery

[Guest guest]

,

The RA pain is slowly creeping back in...mainly my hands, feet and hips.

It is such a minor pain (right now) compared to the " broken back " , I can

almost tolerate it. With all the anti-inflammatory drugs I had in the

hospital, I'm sure that camouflaged the RA pain. Time will tell now. I'm

back on Enbrel. When I see the rheumotologist next week, I'm certain she

will start the MTX again. Now maybe I can get on with life!! That back

pain really deleted my summer. Lila

Lila,

I'm glad that your surgery was successful. Hopefully the Enbrel will keep

your RA tamed. How long have you

been on the mtx/Enbrel combination? With your back surgery behind you,

life should be much more enjoyable.

I hope you're having a pain free day.
