Guest guest Posted July 3, 2003 Report Share Posted July 3, 2003 Hi All I have been lurking for a while now and have a question. DH has Ra for past 20+ years he is still very active and works full time He takes methotrexate 20mg orally once a week for past 7 yrs. also viox 25mg He was having numbness and pain in his hand and arm. Reg Dr sent him to a neurologist. MRI shows arthritic changes ,spurs,in his neck causing the problem. Neurologist wants him to do physical therapy. which is not possible because his job requires travel and he never knows where he will be until Monday morning. Neurologist wants to schedule him with Neuro surgeon. I called reg Dr and asked if she should go back to rheumtiodologist and question possibility of different meds or cortisone shots. Reg Dr said no Neurologist can do cortisone shots. What would you do? Thanks Sherry Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
