Hi. I am wondering does anyone else have sharp pains in the side which feel like someone has stuck a dagger in? The pain sometimes radiates around the front and/or back. Have a good day all 🙂

I was using methotrexate it was working great but the side effects were horrible. So I have stop I’m going back to my doctor next week to discuss Humira. When my body hurts I do lay down on a massage mat that o have. It helps tremendously for me But when I get up only last for a little while

Sounds really bad. Sorry to hear. I take ibuprofen, when that didn't work any more I took some Arcoxia I had left. I sleep/lie down whenever I can. I'm a carer so sometimes I have time between visits. I've been referred for the biological medication Secukinumab. I'm really hoping I'll feel less wiped out/brain fog, less pain with it. I hope you have a good day.

Yes, that's what I thought too. Thanks Linda, makes me feel better to know someone else has the same symptom. How are you? What works to reduce your inflammation?
