Pain In Hands And Knees

A myRAteam Member asked a question 💭
Clay, WV

So for several days my hands, wrist, fingers have been really hurting and today it started with my knees, so bad it is hard to walk. My question is, I plan on calling my RA doc tomorrow to see if she thinks a round of prednisone will help. Any suggestions out there before I contact her. I am sure it is because of the change in the weather.

I am in the same position. The change of weather. I finally had all my meds on point and was actually doing really well and then bam! Weather change and i cant even walk bc of my knees. I would try a prednisone shot i am sure they would offer it, its quicker and to me lasts longer.

I had shots in both knees in August, I am going to be having knee replacement on one of them after November, had hip replacement in June so they are making me wait 6 months before they start on my knees. I had been doing really good since these last 2 injections, but they just started out of nowhere and this is the worse they have ever hurt.

My knees bother me too. The doctor wants to give me shots in my knees but I hate needles so much I think I will pass.
