Guest guest Posted February 22, 2006 Report Share Posted February 22, 2006 Hi ... I saw my rheumy today. He is not a happy camper. He says that my ra flare is severe and I have to get on my meds asap, or I could have serious repercussions. We may have to try prednisone again, though it also can make it difficult to heal (speaking of the seroma), and in general prednisone has been almost a 100% no-no for me. He aspirated a lot of fluid from my right knee, injected my left wrist, and in the examination itself says things are changing rapidly for the worse. The surgeon is not confident that I won't get an infection, particularly if they have to insert a drain. Even with the aspirations there is a chance of infection. So, Humira would be risky at best. I have requested that the two dr's speak with each other (they do know each other casually.) I feel caught between a rock and a hard place. My right leg has not worked right since he aspirated the fluid...it is stiff and hard to move...I don't recall that happening after an aspiration before. I am hoping it will resolve within a few hours. Sigh. Tess Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
