Hip and Knee Pain

Hi everyone. I hope everyone’s weekends went well and were fun and symptom free :slight_smile:

So I’m not sure what to do. I started having really bad hip and knee pain on Friday. This is week number 3 of this flare up. My rheumy has moved me from 8 to 16 to 24mg of Medrol but new pains just keep coming.

The hip pain is so bad, and even the Tramadol doesn’t seem to help. It hurts when I’m sitting, and laying down. I get a little relief when standing but only briefly. If I’m standing for too long my knees start to ache. On top of that I’m dealing with ankle, wrist, and finger joint pain. My legs have also become extremely restless - this is something new.

I’m going to email my rheumy today, but wanted to see if anyone had any thoughts here. Thanks y’all!

Hugs,
Liz

Perhaps an injection into the hip joint?
