i need some help to see which way I need to go next. I was dignosed with Wegs Jan. 2008 and progressed as well as could be expected. I was off Preds and Immuran for about 3 months in mid 2010, then in Nov. 2010 I had a flare and it showed up in my knee joints. I almost got to where I could barely walk. My Pulmologist put me back on 40 mg of Preds along with the Immuran. The pain went away and stayed gone for awhile then it began to flare again this past summer along with the pain in might right hip and right knee. The pain at times was almost unbareable. It was at this point that my Doc. decided that it was time to try the RTX. I took the 4 infusions begining the first of Nov. 2011 and all of my numbers were good when I went in at the end of Dec. but the pain and soreness was still there in my knee and hip. Not as bad as it had been but still there. I talked with my Pulmonoligst and he seemed to think that I needed to go in and see my orthopedic Doc. He had looked at me back in Aug. of last year and did a CAT scan of my hip but thought it was the Wegs causing the problems. So the problem that I need help with is whether I should go back to the Orthopedic Doc. are back to my Pulmonoligist to see if it is the Wegs that is causing all of the pain. The pain is not always in my knee and hip at the same time it seems to move back and forth are both. If i sit for awhile and stand up to walk I have to wait for a minute before I start to walk becaue if I don't the soreness and pain want let me. I'm not sure this all makes any sense but just trying to see if anyone has had to deal with anything like this. It has really been a pain in the butt.
