Questions to ask my doctor

Yeah, I get to see my very nice doctor at Brigham and Women's hospital. I guess I should write a list of questions that should ask her.

1. Knee very slowly getting better but still inflation and still unable to be athletic.
2. Right shoulder to kneck has given me tons of trouble.
3. When I wasn't on codeine everything hurt a lot. Stiff.
4. Yesterday. Walked on a field with the dogs for 20min and got pains in my left foot. Still unable to be athletic.
5. When will the methotrexate kick in? Taken 4 weeks of it.
6. Drank a few beers Aug 6th but that was it.

What else should I ask my doctor?

How much does Tylenol-Codeine help Rheumatoid Arthritis?

I was feeling great and then I ran out of Tylenol-Codeine. I was taking 2 to 4 pills a day. I forget the MG but it's in a previous posting. Pretty much the day after I stopped the pain in my foot slowly started to come back. On day 4 I had to give in and I got in touch with my DR at brigham and women's hospital in Boston. I do not want to get addicted to it and haven't yet. But I'd rather take it then go back on the prednisone. So I got another prescription and have slowly started to feel better. I see my DR on Friday. Hopefully well run some more blood tests and maybe take some more xrays. Maybe one of my shoulder. It kills.

When Does Methotrexate Begin to Work with Rheumatoid Arthritis?

Since yesterday morning I've felt tons better. Although I can't say I feel anywhere close to 100%. But the pain in my foot has been next to nothing and the swelling in my knee went down enough to where I can walk pretty normal. My shoulder has been the worst and actually hasn't improved. Maybe the one of my drugs is starting to take effect. I'm hoping it's the Hydroxychloroquine but it could also be the early stages of the Methothrexate. Either way I'm happier that something is happening.

When did your pain/inflammation start to go away after starting any of the 2 drugs I listed above?
