Guest guest Posted June 2, 2000 Report Share Posted June 2, 2000 Hi ! Just wanted to add my two cents - I am also interested in finding documentation that RA can be caused by an accident. I really believe the one I was in a few years ago is what triggered it for me. There is no evidence of RA in my family. I have tried a variety of drugs - right now I am on vioxx and I just had a cortisone shot in my left shoulder. I was on mtx, but had problems with it. I also take Darvicet for pain when I need it.

Guest guest Posted June 2, 2000 Report Share Posted June 2, 2000 Thanks for the info . As far as I know I am not on an ACE inhibitor, but then I don't always realize what the different things are. So far I have not had any problems with what I am on. But if the pain gets worse again, I don't know what we will try next. I thing the dr was thinking of trying the mtx but by injection next time. Who knows.
