Guest guest Posted November 14, 2010 Report Share Posted November 14, 2010 Hello all! My name is Regina, I'm 41 & have RA. I am currently on Enbrel injections once weekly. My current problem is with nodules on my fingers. They started a few years ago when I had to stop my first round of Enbrel due to insurance costs. The nodules I get are on most of my fingers. They sometimes become infected and are extremely sore to the touch. I keep them bandaged so I won't pick at them. I'd love any advice or suggestions that may have worked for your nodules. I recently saw a hand surgeon who said I am not a candidate for hand surgery & after surgery the nodes usually come back. Thank you!

Guest guest Posted March 11, 2011 Report Share Posted March 11, 2011 Hi, nice to meet you. Wow Celabrex works for you? I was i the hospital at one point and had to take it instead of my ultram and skelaxin, did I ever find out how much pain I'm really in. I tossed and turned all night, not from insomnia but from intense pain. I'm a recoverring alcoholic and the doctor even told me to " take my ultram " lol when I got out of the hospital. I have learned though that I do better when I take less instead of more. I take one ultram and 400 mlg of skelaxin along with my mtx and I do fairly well, along w some additional otc pain reliever as well sometimes. I hope you are doing well. I'm fairly new to group also, and I really like it. I am learning quite a bit, people are informative and nice. Take care.  ladeyangll From: <bluegreenstarz1@...> Subject: [ ] New Here Date: Thursday, March 10, 2011, 9:46 PM  Hello everyone, My name is and I have just been diagnosed with early RA. I also have OA and Fibromyalgia and a history of JRA. This latest stuff started acting up a few weeks ago so I went and saw my Rheumatologist. My labs showed mild inflammation as observed with an elevated C-Reactive Protein and an increased Sed rate. The pain and stiffness is worst in my fingers, wrists and toes. I am currently using Celebrex 200 mg. 2x a day and Voltaren Gel 4x a day. I just love to meet new people so please write!!! TTYL! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
