Guest guest Posted July 19, 2002 Report Share Posted July 19, 2002 Hi Cindy, I just went through about a month of this same pain recently. The doctors were kind of vague, but leaned toward it being RP. After the way it behaved, I am convinced it was RP. My PCP said that that area is just full of cartilage. Mine acted exactly like a flare....when it was done, it just " went to sleeping mode " as Heidi would say. I'd think twice about lowering the pred while you are having this kind of pain.....but that is just my opinion. What are your doctors saying? Hope you get to feeling better soon. I know how miserable this is. Love, squeek --- mike ederegger wrote: > I haven't posted for a very long time. Have been > feeling pretty good until about a week ago.
