Subject: Symptoms?
Hey, just wondering if this is a side effect of the meds or of RA? Ive been getting night sweats and my partner has been commenting that i get so hot he cant snuggle close to me in bed. Another thing ive been getting is hot burning feeling around my knees with a slight ache. Is this a sign RA is now moving onto my knees and should i mention new symptoms like this to doc/ rummy or nurse? Im due to take my 2nd dose of MTX tomorrow but obviously it will take weeks to have an effect. Thanks x

hi Kirstine, I get hot burning feeling in my knees and ankles and, unfortunately, I know it is the arthritis (I have sero negative RA.) I would mention it to them. It will take a while for the mtx to kick in so they might give you something else to help in the meantime.

I think i was hoping it was the meds. I cant belive how fast its taking hold.... My hands are constantly boiling hot and constantly weak and painful so i know they are being affected thought i was going to get away with my knees being left out! Im taking nerproxin aswell but and have been for over a month but they just dont seem to be helping.

Hey Kirstine, I recently tried Naproxen and actually flared up the next day so went straight back onto my diclofenac. They all work differently on different ppl so tell the doc and they could try you with another. xx

kirstine, you might just be having a flare up. When I first got ill everything was affected, couldn't walk, etc. hope you aren't as unlucky as me!

kirstine, hope it is just a flareup, my ra seems to move around, 1day my hands and wrists, next day my knees etc etc, ive been on diclofenic and naproxen neither of them helped me, now etroxib which seems to be helping me alot at the mo, definatly mention it when you see someone. xx
