pain continues, any suggestions?

[Guest guest]

Hello!

I did email Dr Buckner aboutthe NSAID with the metho, although I

stopped taking it last night because it does say I shouldn't. But, I

have been up from about 2 am on, the last three days, in severe pain

in my leg joints. I am able to walk this morning andthe Prednisone

is kicking in, but this is pretty unbearable.

Is this typical and if so, what helped? I can't seem to get in any

position that helps and standing is so painful that getting up to go

in and sit at the computer is impossible during the night. I'm

tempted to take Prednisone later in the night, maybe even just 10

mgs. of my 35, but I'm not sure if that will keep me awake on it's

own. Any suggestions?

I have my CT scan at noon today, to look at the swelling area under

my chin. Hopefully that tells me something.

Thanks,
