Well... I decided to share a picture of my knees once again. I know they still look swelled, but to me this is an improvement. Because I can actually bend my knees when I walk or sit down now, where as before I could not.  They are a bit swelled because we are having some rain. Any time I can feel bone again is a good day!

 
I like being able to bend my knees, and feel my knee caps again.
 
They are looking better Joonie!!  Do you know what milograms of remicade you are getting?   Don't spam Dude.
I am glad you are doing better, these drugs take time, i hope everything works well for you.
[QUOTE=peterwalker]i dont know wat medication u take for swelling,but i would suggest u to use actipatch,
i am trying to actually sell actipatch to u, but to share info

well thats plain enough  Dude is spamming on my THREAD!!?!???
 
How DARE HE!
 
No use in trying to sell me anything... all my money has been spent on Remicade & Imuran and other drugs.
Ok... so maybe I jumped the gun just a we bit posting pics of my knees last night. So... here is another one of them as of 10 mins ago.
 
Happy, happy.... joy, joy....  (I hated the cartoon Ren & Stimpy!)
 
Would you care to see what I call MAJOR swelling?
 
The pictures below are from 2006. I had swelling like that non-stop from 2005-2006.
 
 
 
Joonie, they look so much better! I just can't believe thee difference.
 
Hope you are feeling as good as it looks and continue to feel better.
 
Hugs, Nini
Joonie, I remember those first pictures and boy are your knees better.  You must be thrilled to see and feel the difference.  Lindyhi Joonie nice knees   Joonie do the backs of your knees swell? Glad you are getting better some. I think you are getting better. Sorry the knees swelled back up some. How long do they say this medicine takes to work? Are you taking Remicade and Imurine at the same time?Thanks everyone! Yep... I am happy with how the Remicade is doing. I think and believe it is doing way more for me than Humira ever did. At least with Remicade I have a few good weeks, and not a few good days like I was having with Humira.
 
Milly... I never really thougth about the backs of my legs swelling while the front of my knees are swelled. But I believe they do. I had hubby look at them one other time when you mentioned it and he said one looked puffier in the back, which was my right leg. I think that is why I have a hard time bending my knees and all not because of the swellingi n the front but because of the swelling in the back & front. Not much room for the inflammation to move to if the whole cavity is fill with inflammation.
 
I had that little bit of swelling in the pics from the other day, and I could walk and bend my knees, and sit down and all the things I normally could not. I would think that I wouldnot be able to bend my knees with any kind of swelling, at least that was the thought I had, but until now not able to see if that was so. but it looks like I cannot bend my knees when I have swelling front and back of my knees.
 
I would have never of thought about swelling in the backs of my knees. I never had a RD to check the backs, only the fronts. I guess that is why I never thought about it. PLUS, I could only see the fronts, so the backs were out of sight... you know the ole saying.
