Well... that didn't last long | Arthritis Information

My right knee is swelled, is swelling and almost to like it was when RD wanted to drain it. I told the Remicade nurse it would be back big again in about 3 days. I sure wished I was wrong, but I guess not.

I cannot sleep because I cannot get my legs in a comfortable position, and the way I am use to sleeping, fetal position, it makes my knee caps have a lot of pressure built up behind them and it is not comfortable at all.
 
Both elbows are swelled, too.
 
But hey! I do not have that much pain. Just a little nagging pain here and there, it is ignorable.
 
I wonder why I still swell even a few days after the Remicade infusion?
 
And another good note... my neck has not acted up yet. Maybe it is fibro that has been bothering my neck so bad, and not the RA. At least that is what RD seems to think is wrong with my neck. I can still hear fluid swishing around when I move my head. Oh well... *shrugs shoulders while they are still shrugable*CALL YOUR DOCTOR!!!!!
 
that knee needs individual treatment at this point.   Remicade doesn't fix damage and your knee is damaged.  And unfortunately Joonie sleeping in the fetal position is not good for the knees whe they are this bad.  try sleeping with a lengthwise pillow under the entire leg
