Fw: Having trouble with my arthrtis

[Guest guest]

Hi Folks,

   I know it's be a while since I post.  Today it's raining and damp and nasty

outside.  My arthritis is acting up.  I'm taking Methotrexate weekly (on Sunday)

and also Tylenol for the pain.  I'm feeling really fatigue and have no energy at

all.   Sometime it's so hard to go to work. 

   On top of that my right ankle is bothering me.  I was in a car accident three

years ago and I have  13 screws and a plate in the ankle.  I recently went to

the Dr and he said one of the screw broke.  He doesn't want to do anything about

it and it's common that happen.  I don't know if I should get a second opinion

or not.  I'm wearing brace to support the ankle but doesn't seem to be helping

at all.  I'm waiting to hear from the Dr's office about going to Physical

Therapy.  I'm thinking of calling the Dr back and see what else he can do.  Any

suggestion would be appreciated.  I'm in pain and have  zero tolerance of it.

Sorry to hear about your pain, Christa. I think a second opinion would

be a good idea.

Not an MD
