Guest guest Posted November 7, 2008 Report Share Posted November 7, 2008 I think I'm having my first flair since getting things under control. I take enbrel mtx and naprosyn. I woke this am with my hips hurting so bad. I went to work but wasn't up to par and definately hurt. I called my rheumy and he was out so I got the doc on call. He told me he didn't believe RA affects the hips and maybe I should walk more. I'm a nurse hello I walk a lot. I was speechless, so I called my PCP and she got me some pain meds but I think maybe prednisone would help more. My rheumy is back monday. I just wanted to verify that I'm not crazy and RA can and does affect hips. Right? I swear my rheumy said it can affect all joints but not the back. Before I started my meds it even hurt my jaw. I just hope this weather related and doesn't mean the enbrel isn't working anymore. I have felt so good until today. Thanks for listening, hope everyone isn't flaring with me Diane Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
