Guest guest Posted November 11, 2006 Report Share Posted November 11, 2006 I'm having a pain in my right hip joint for the past couple of weeks. It's definitely my hip joint, I know where that is located. The pain is only at night when I am in bed after I have been lying down for a while, the pain is worst in the morning and goes away as soon as I walk even a little bit. The pain comes back if I go back to bed in the morning. It's fairly intense and I have been weaning myself off of prednisone, from 20 to 12.5 mg., I am still on Methotrexate of 22.5 mg. weekly. I had surgery for a septic left hip last May, but that pain was constant when it finally went bad. Now due the Prednisone decrease and not having any of the biologics since the end of May, most all my joints are painful all the time. My right hip joint thought is starting to keep me up at night. I am planning on making an appointment with my Rheumy for this week, considering that I had a septic left hip only 5 months ago. Any thoughts? Similar experiences?
