Guest guest Posted September 3, 2006 Report Share Posted September 3, 2006 Hi everyone, I'm the one who was concerned about having a fusion on one wrist and surgery on the other, and the concern my Rheumy had about getting me on Methotrexate right away. Well, I am happy to tell you that my orthopedist said that I can put off the fusion until I'm ready and that she has no literature that suggests that it's bad to have surgery while on MTX. So, I will have my first dose Thursday. I'm a bit nervious about it. I don't know how my body will respond to it and after reading all the possible side effects, it does concern me. But, above all that, I'm looking forward to better days ahead. So, tell me, will I be pain free from my RA symptoms once the MTX is fully going thru my system regularly? What should my expectations be? Will I still have stiffness when I move after sitting or laying down for long periods of time? Any info is greatly appreciated on what I should expect. Hope you all are having a great weekend, and thanks for listening and replying. Les Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
