Guest guest Posted June 7, 2009 Report Share Posted June 7, 2009 Hi, I have a question. Since my Rheumy decreased my MTX from 6 to 5 pills a week, I've started having pain again. He was thrilled my CRP was 1 and convinced all was well and began the process to " wean " me off MTX. Much to my disappointment, I don't think it's going to happen. My hands hurt so much I just want to cry. Tramadol isn't touching a thing. Some fingers are swollen, it's not consistent. But my real concern is my foot pain. I've never had any unless I've sprained an ankle or stubbed a toe. Now I'm experiencing foot pain. With RA, and I'm afraid this might be silly, but can they possibly hurt so much without swelling? Yesterday they were burning, I wanted to take them off, but I soaked them, and that gave me no relief. I even stuck my hands in the water and that felt pretty good. My back hurts, my hips are killing me. I hate to make a call to him to tell him all this. I hate that my decrease to freedom off of MTX has failed. GRRRRRRRRRRRR. Thanks for listening and any answers/advice you might have. Heidi in Mass. Go Red Sox! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
