Hey my old friends and new...
Been dealing with crazy foot and knee pain that took me to the ER over a week ago. My right toe joint flared up as did my right knee, on the left side of the joint...major pain, I could barely walk, sleep, etc. So docs thought gout or an infection...did blood tests...uric acid normal, white blood cell count normal...they gave me gout pills and Bactrim...still hurting after almost two weeks and now my left back muscles are in a crazy spasm like I remember from my days over a decade ago pre-Enbrel. I have not been on Enbrel for over a month cause I was feeling ill and didn't want to be sick for Thanksgiving. I have not been really sick this fall, a first. I think this is all related to AS, and I have Enbrel rush shipped to me tomorrow....hoping that will kill the inflamed joint pain. Has anyone had similar issues? Am wondering if my AS is taking a new spin to my periphery joints like RA....my foot tendon pain has been severe in the fall for the past three years!!
thank you all for listening, you all Rock, as you well know, Peace out for now...
