, your wrist pain

[Guest guest]

Interesting. Your wrist pain...I often get the post strep RA after

EN. The RA is really weird (the first time I thought I was crazy...)

swelling and pain in a joint for 1 week, then it would move to

another joint. It seemed goofy to me. Then it was gone after 3

weeks and having changed locations in my joints 4 times. I went to a

Rheumatolgist at the U of Wisconsin - Milwaukee. He says that just

happens - dope yourself with Prednisone or lots of asprin. Not much

more you can do...just ride it out..
