Need to ask for prayers for my daughter

She has had her left knee drained 5 times in 3 weeks. She had 90 cc's drained a week ago Monday and then over the weekend her knee swelled up again. She went to the rheumatologist again yesterday morning and had 100 cc's drained and a new Rx for an anti inflammatory. I went to pick it up for her and when I dropped it off in the early afternoon her knee had swollen back up. Her doctor told her to come right in and she drained 60 more cc's. Today her knee is swollen and she said it feels weird. They can't figure out what is going on. They sent the fluid to the lab and are scheduling her for an Xray and MRI. I feel so bad for her. It really impacts her life. She can't do things normal young people can do. She never complains but is getting pretty upset now. So if you could keep her in your prayers along with my DH we would so appreciate it. Thanks

Oh Patti I am just now seeing this. I'm sorry you daughter is having so many problems with her RA. Prayers certainly going out for her.

I'm praying that things will get better for your daughter.

Thanks for the prayers. My daughter's rheumatologist called her about an hour ago. The MRI shows a giant cyst that is leaking. She said it's very strange. Also, the fluid they removed and ran labs on showed no sign of inflammation. So they are going to try and get her in to an orthopedic doctor tomorrow or Friday. I wish I had been able to talk to the doctor as my DD doesn't know what questions to ask. So if you could continue to keep her in your prayers and hopefully this can be easily resolved. I'm beginning to feel like a prayer hog these days since I keep asking for more prayers.

Patti ask for all the prayers you need. Just know your daughter has my prayers. I wish your family wasn't going thru so much. I wish I could help in some way.

I will continue to pray for your daughter...and there is no such thing as asking for too many. I hope they can get to the bottom of this soon, please update us as you can.

Thanks! After talking to my DD further she said she thinks the doctor said it was a Bakers cyst. When I looked it up it is not uncommon in people with arthritis.

Patti, I am so very sorry that your DD is suffering - I will keep her and her medical team in my thoughts and prayers. Since you have a diagnosis, your daughter and her medical team can start a treatment plan. I hope that they will be able to drain or remove and that the pesky cyst doesn't return.

Please don't apologize for asking for prayer. God loves a humble heart - one who isn't afraid to ask for the best of all possible help in a time of need -- PRAYER!
