Do you know if you did have the surgery you couldnt take inflamatory medications, cause I used
to take celebrex, The nurse told me i cant take it anymore,
DID YOU APPEAL IT?
Your doctor might recommend surgery to help you lose weight if you have a body mass index (BMI) of more than 40 or a BMI of 35 or more coupled with an obesity-related disease like type 2 diabetes, heart disease or sleep apnea

Not a stupid Q at all. Rhuemotoid Arthritis is RA, it is a inflamatory arthritis,I take Celebrex, Methotrexate and prednisone.

I know this is stupid to ask but what is RA? what type of medication you take for it?

Topic: RE: 1 week after surgery and RA pain
Thanks Holly...I am hoping that something will give soon. I have my 2 week checkup next week so I am hoping he will go ahead and let me get back on my meds. Amy
Topic: RE: 1 week after surgery and RA pain
Thanks...I hope I didn't scare you. The pain from the surgery has not been bad at all, if I can just get through the next couple of weeks I'll be fine and I know it will all be worth it in the end. I go back to the doc next week for my 2 week checkup and I'm hoping he will then let me get back on my meds. Are you just starting to learn about the surgery. How far along are you in the process. I thought it was funny when I seen where you were from. I also live in NC and my last name is "Denton". I don't know how close you are to looking for a doc but I went to Dr Chapman in Greenville and he is a really good doc....I wish you the best and keep me updated.

Maybe your rheumatologist can prescribe something that is not an NSAID temporarily till you can go back on the regular meds. Good luck!

Very sorry to hear about your RA. I have it also and can sympathize with you. I have not had surgery yet but have a great deal of fear because of this. The only thing I can suggest is rest as often as possible until your able to restart your meds. Take care of yourself !!!
