Guest guest Posted May 1, 2010 Report Share Posted May 1, 2010 Hello everyone! Having been diagnosed with RA last summer, I have been being treated by a rheumatologist in boro, AR. She is an excellent doctor. I went back this past Thursday. While my RA was pretty much in check (mainly in feet and hands), she noticed a serious edema in my legs. She immediately had me stop Relafen. I forgot that one of the side effects was fluid retention. For now, we will try arthritis strength tylenol with methotrexate and folic acid. Back in 2 months. Just a reminder. ASK QUESTIONS of both the doctor AND pharmacist. If you start gaining weight, call your doctor. If you suspect ANYTHING, by all means, see your doctor. It could save you time AND your life. Steve S in Arkansas Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
