I know the anti-inflammatories are standard for arthritis, but the steriod works well for more immediate relief.
I'm very sorry she is going through this, esp. at such a young age. My thoughts are with her. |
Thanks. Her doctor was debating whether to put her on a low does of steroids or just give her a shot of cortisone in her elbow. She decided on the shot in the elbow. Which helped her elbow but her rt knee is still stiff and swollen. I think it would have been better if she had given her the low dose steroids. The Anti inflammatory doesn't seem to be helping yet. She starts the rheumatoid medicine later this week. Thanks for sharing your experience. Hope your shoulder is better now. Do you have this happen a lot?
