Praying it isn't infected and the surgery will be quick, simple and you're back on your feet soon. I've not posted here very often either, but do read the posts. I wish you all the best in the days ahead. May God guide the surgeon's hands and that you have a quick and speedy recovery.... . Doreen Just wanted to say hi and tell you what is going on with me. As most of you know, my RA has hit me the hardest in my feet. Well, I have a large RA nodule on the outside of my right foot just at the arch. Needless to say, it has gotten much bigger and is quite painful. I saw my Rheumy and then my foot dr. I am also going for a MRI to make sure it is not infected. I will be having surgery soon to remove the nodule. I was so hoping my surgery days were all over, but I guess not. I am in so much pain and I can just about stand on my foot. I am taking RX pain meds. and off my feet most days. I do read all the posts each day. I haven't talked with Tawny in awhile, but I will call her and see how she is doing. I am still dealing with my divorce, and it is just so painful. Dealing with a broken heart has been just awful. I am still taking one day at a time as that is all I can really handle. I hope everyone here is doing better, and I wish you all pain free days ahead. My RA is still good, thank God. Much love to all of you. Hugs, Barbara Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest guest Posted April 21, 2010 Report Share Posted April 21, 2010 thanks for the info it put me at ease.  ann From: Dalanne <tombstone1968@...> Subject: [ ] Re: orencia infusions Date: Tuesday, April 20, 2010, 3:27 PM  I am on Orencia and have been for about 2 years now. I have had no side effects at all on the day of infusion and I regularly go driving/shopping afterwards for several hours. The first time I didn't know how it would affect me so I had my Mom go with me in case I needed her to drive me home. So, yes, if it will make you more comfortable then he goes with you. That will remove that worry. My only side effect is the day AFTER the infusion I feel like I've been hit by a Mack truck so I make plans to sleep the next day then I'm fine. It has stopped working for me so April was my last infusion for Orencia. They have quite a few patients on Orencia and I'm one of 3 that it has stopped helping. Best wishes for your treatment! I hope it works very well for you!
