I am 29 years old and diagnosed with some type of inflammatory
arthritis back in February 2007. Symptoms first stated in Nov 2006, My
right was hurting alot. Especially first thing in the morning. I
thought I broke a bone. But Xrays were fine, bone scan was fine,
etc...Finally went to a rheumatologist in Feb because my knee also
started to hurt. My RF factor is negative, my sed rate is in the 50's
and I guess it should be lower, like under 30. The pain I have been
experiencing is all in my right side, Right foot, ankle and knee.
Nothing else hurts. Right now I am on Sulfasalazine 3 pills 2x a day.
I take Aleve too. My doc didnt put me on another drug (metha-
something) because my husband and I are thinking of having another
baby.
She wants me to try Humira. But I'm afraid too because the injections
sound just awful. But I guess if it makes my foot less swollen and
brings my knee back to normal it will be worth it?
My pain right now is that my foot is very swollen, my knee can be sore
(especially in the morning), and my ankle is sore and swollen.
I've read that the Humira pen hurts more than a regular injection. Is
that true?
