Guest guest Posted August 17, 2006 Report Share Posted August 17, 2006 Thanks Rhonda, , and Janet for responding to my questions. I have been doing pretty good during the summer. Last winter was definitely not fun and I am worried now the fall is just around the corner. I get pain in my shoulders and back but the pain in my chest really bothers me. It will just be achy, but can escalate to sharp stabbing pain. My Rheumy decided to do heart tests on me back in February because he said that chest pain is not usual in RA patients. But of course the tests came back fine and the month of worrying I would die of a heart attack was wasted. I am only on Methatrexate and Hydroxcloroquine right now as I am not on any health benefits. I have heard wonderful things about Enbrel but I would not be able to go on that because it is too costly and have no coverage. I see my Rheumy again the beginning of September. My hands and elbows only hurt once in awhile. I have many nodules on them. Meredith from Canada Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
