?? FLARE ??

[Guest guest]

I think I'm having my first flair since getting things under control.

I take enbrel mtx and naprosyn. I woke this am with my hips hurting so

bad. I went to work but wasn't up to par and definately hurt. I

called my rheumy and he was out so I got the doc on call. He told me

he didn't believe RA affects the hips and maybe I should walk more.

I'm a nurse hello I walk a lot. I was speechless, so I called my PCP

and she got me some pain meds but I think maybe prednisone would help

more. My rheumy is back monday.

I just wanted to verify that I'm not crazy and RA can and does affect

hips. Right? I swear my rheumy said it can affect all joints but not

the back. Before I started my meds it even hurt my jaw.

I just hope this weather related and doesn't mean the enbrel isn't

working anymore. I have felt so good until today.

Thanks for listening, hope everyone isn't flaring with me
