Guest guest Posted January 29, 2007 Report Share Posted January 29, 2007 Hello, I don't post often and when I do it is usually to ask a question, but I wanted to say that I have a really good week. I have had a solid 7 days without joint pain other than a few little aches and pains that I figure I wouldn't even notice if I wasn't watching every little thing in disbelief. I am taking Remicade infusions, methotrexate 25mg a week, prednisone 12.5 mg a day, folic acid 3 mg day, neurontin,singulair, prozac, trazadone and tramadol if needed (rheumy isn't " comfortable " perscribing anything stronger).The only change has been to up my remicade to 600mg every 6 weeks, but maybe that is what did the trick. I have RA and a lot of back issues (DDD, spinalk stenosis, ruptured disks, scar tissue around my spine from surgery). One of the difficulties for me has been discerning whether my pain is from my hips or lower back. I have been able to really tell the differences this week which will help even if/when the RA pain comes back. What seems really odd to me is that most of the radicular pain down my leg evidently comes for something related to the RA because it has stopped and what a blessed relief that is! Well, I wish you all a pain free day and the peace and relief it brings. in St. Louis Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
