Medical Forum / Diseases and Disorders / Arthritis / June 2005new symptoms and enbrel question
Does anyone suffer from really bad leg muscle aches, I have never had them and my hips seem to be flaring, also knew for me, but the muscles of my upper thighs and right above my knees just ache and ache, I have never had anything like this, is this RA also? I seem to have no energy either, that has always been to some degree but never like it is no!! SO frustrating, always something new each week. I see my RA doc on Monday to discuss the MTX, I am up to 17.5 now, it has helped my wrists some, the anti inflam, seem to do more with the pain, but it is now in my hips and knees so I am assuming we go on to more meds, I am in my 8th month of the TB med, so maybe enbrel will start, although I have read a lot of posts about the enbrel really bothering people's bladder, does anyone here have any experience with that? Thanks again Becky Enbrel does not bother my bladder at all Becky.

As the hip acts up, the muscles get tight, making the hips (and knees) worse. I bought a foam roller to use to soften them up, but haven't used them yet. Ducky says you can do the same thing using a tennis ball. You put the tennis ball on the bed/floor and slowly roll on top of it to soften up the muscle. Hurts, but really helps.

You might look it up before your doctor visit so you can ask more about the possibility.
