Guest guest Posted June 26, 2010 Report Share Posted June 26, 2010 Thank you Melynda and Jody for replying to my post. 10 days after the ankle shots and I'm still in so much pain. Having trouble standing and walking. After taking Humira for 3 years, up to once a week, I stopped 5 months ago because I wasn't sure it was still helping, and wanted to test the waters without a biologic (was on enbrel before which didn't help much), and now have been on methotrexate and predinsone. I'm thinking I need to start my Humira or another biologic again. Sometimes with the fibro combo it's hard to tell what is what, and today in tears again from pain, I'm still hoping the ankle shots will kick in and maybe I will feel better. I have RA and fibro for 12 years with a cervical fusion, secondary sjogren's and Raynaud's. I'm still working although with light duties and doing some pool exercises, but it is a lot of work to keep this up. I have had facet joint injections, trigger points, radio frequencies, multiple pain and RA meds, and the list goes on. Yet, within this there is hope and faith that I will feel better again. It seems that the aggressive treatment at the onset helped prevent further joint damage. Today, I just want to accept where I am, and not take this flare personally. Thank you all, I wish you health and peace, Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
