Guest guest Posted March 29, 2004 Report Share Posted March 29, 2004 We just went on a trip to SPringfield, IL, to see our capil etc. It involves a LOT of walking---- (lots of stairs, too) and I did not take my scooter. (I guess was hoping my 6 weeks of methotrexate would help?) The first day I did GREAT- was able to do all the walking and stairs - a little slow, but I managed. The 2nd day I started out only ind of OK, but after a couple hours, I declined. It was warm, 68 or so- but heavy rain moved in, too. BY 2 PM I could not walk AT ALL.- not even a little.....Flaring in my left hip (not common for me to flare in my hip) and my left elbow-----and my right ankle. My question is- does the walking like that and maybe overdoing things bring on a flare like that? I seem to notice n days I go to the laundromat, my feet are very bad the next day- on days when I scrub a lot or polish wood etc a lot, my wrists, fingers and thumbs flare. BUT I thought exercise was good?- so why does it hurt me so later? Was it the weather? Or the walking? Or a coincidence, and flares that would have hapened no matter what?
