still in the flair zone | Arthritis Information

well, that taper last week still has me flaired up. My knees keep getting stuck etc. So, my husband said to go to 10mg a day for a few days, get back on track and then start to taper SLOWLY.

I have a physical at the obgyn tomorrow, and currently can't bend the knees, not a good thing.

Eww no, that is not a good thing... you have to be able to bend your knees and spread for the ewwy gooey GYNO appt. I hate going to that place.

Good Luck tomorrow!

Are they swollen? Have you tried ice? It sounds like a good plan your husband has though.

My obgyn appt is Monday, must be that time of year or something!! LOL!
I tried ice packs but nothing changed. My knees look like puffy giant round balls lol.

I am on 10mg and feel ok enough to actually walk into the other room. I was so bad before that i would stand up and make squeak noises trying to get my leg to work. The right one hurts, but the left just won't do what it should.

And of course, my husband says "want me to get it for you" and I say "no i can do it". Instead of just sitting down and letting him get me a glass of water.

Of course the first time he asked i told him "sure, go potty for me" lol

But, i might be able to do that obgyn appt tomorrow. I need my depro shot too and if i reschedule, it will be months before i get in.

It got cold too, so more pain added.

Like I said, Good Luck!thanks :) might have to get my husband to hold a leg lol. Just like when having my daughter :) Just kidding lolhehehe... My hubby dropped my leg, when something gooshed into the floor after a few pushes. He got grossed out.... the damn pansy!

I am so not looking forward to the "click, click" sound. *shutters*
I just had a second pap down and I have muscle cramps in my legs all the time. It was quite the experience! As soon as I had to put my legs in stirrups, I got a cramp behind my knee. I told dr before hand that I get them all the time. I even took muscle relaxer before I went. SO I told Dr "Ihave to straighten my legs!" SO I did and then we tried to put legs in stirrups again, same thing cramps. Straightened legs again and then back in stirrups, CRAMPS AGAIN! Even in my hip this time. I told dr just hurry and get it down. She hurried and I jumped down and just starting pacing and trying to walk off those stupid cramps. I hate those things. They hurt!

New year, new pap time. Yee Haw!
