Close Rheumatoid Arthritis
February 2009, knuckles on right hand swelled up, with pain. Saw Primary, he said it was osteo arthritis, tried anti-inflammatory meds. Referred to Orthopedic, he tried prednisone. Sent me to get MRI, showed lesion on the brain. Referred me to neurologist, who referred me to neurosurgeon, more MRI's. He didn't think needed surgery, referred me back to neuro, who referred me to Mayo Clinic and to rheumatologist. More MRI's led to RA diagnosis, erosion in cartilage and bone in right hand.
Treatments
- Enbrel Too Soon to Tell
- Just had three doses so far.
- Methotrexate Too Soon to Tell
- After two weeks, Dr. decided Enbrel was needed in addition to MTX.
- Prednisone Not Working
- I can't tell it's doing anything for swelling.
