Re: Anyone else have fluid filled elbows

[Guest guest]

Yes I had that on both elbows for about a year.  When the  MTX kicked in they

disappeared and stop back to visit now and then.  Actually at one point not only

did both elbows look like golf balls on them I had an additional bum the size of

a golf ball a few inches down my arm ... now that was really wild.  but they all

disappeared in time with the  meds.

 

Good Luck and I hope you have the same results.

I do not have fluid filled elbows but as an RN would say that your bursa

are full of fluid. Shame on your Doc for blowing you off like that. Please

demand some attention or treatment or find another attentive doc. ellen

Like , I've too have had them come and go. At this time, I have on on my

left elbow the size of a pea. I can live with that. When I ask my doctor about

getting rid of them (as w/all my lumps and bumps) he tells me it won't help as

they just come back. The right meds do help most of the time.

Well so far the Enbrel isn't getting rid of them and neither did the Arava. Also

taking Minocin. Guess my body is stubborn.

Thanks EL,

Yes I am aware its fluid on the bursa I just wonder why my doc doesn't think its

a big deal. Its really not bothersome to me, its just an eyesore more than

anything. My main concern is will the fluid cause any damage being there long

term. Its already the first thing on my list when I see the rheumy again.
