Guest guest Posted August 12, 2008 Report Share Posted August 12, 2008 The last time I was there, I told him I went back up on prednisone because the pain was coming back. He said that I should get down to 5 mg a day and then I could get a cortisone shot if I needed it. So I made an appt and that was today. The pain is in my knees and upper arms. So then he said 4 shots were too many and I should choose 2. I chose my shoulders. They limit me the most right now. The plan he gave me is to go back on Arava after my colonscopy is done and my intestines settle down. He also gave me a pain pill -- actually 100 of them. I have another appt in October and if the Arava and Mtx don't work, we'll try something else. dd **************Looking for a car that's sporty, fun and fits in your budget? Read reviews on AOL Autos.

Guest guest Posted August 12, 2008 Report Share Posted August 12, 2008 DD, I hope you are feeling better and that you get a good report on your colonscopy. Maybe you will get a good nights rest.
