Guest guest Posted March 11, 2009 Report Share Posted March 11, 2009 hi i've had RA for 12 yrs so know what a flare is. the last few weeks have been different. i am not flaring in my joints but i have a burning pain - but there is no redness or heat - which feels like a ban around my ankles, lower back and buttocks. sometimes the buttock pain is on the outer side of the hip. i've never had arthritis in my ankles or hips or lower back before. with arthritis a flare for me hurts when i am using the joint frequently. this burning pain is constant no matter what i do and it feels like it's more muscular than in the joint. i added 5 mg prednisone which doesn't seem to help. i took a morphine last nite which helped but that stuff makes me so dizzy and nauseous i am loathe to take it. doc has no idea what's going on and can't see specialist for a month. any ideas? is this RA or is it something else? thanks monique Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
