Anyone,

Is there anyone that has experience on getting off RA meds for an operation and then when and how to get back on. My drs. have only told me that I could get back on the Methotrexate. So far so good. I took my 6 little pills last night and am ok.

The question, I guess is, when can I start the Relafen and the Skelaxin (muscle relaxer).

As my stomach and lower pains get a little less, the knee and hand/wrist/knuckly pains gets worse. The biggest pain area or deal, gets the most attention in my body. That is if there is a question of which drug to take or not take.

Anyone got any ideas or stories or such????

Thanks.

HI, Is There Anyone Outthere that can help me????

I am now 3 weeks out of the hospital (almost). The only meds that I have not restarted taking for my Rheumatoid Arthritis, are Skelaxin, and Tramadol/Ultram. Not skeelaxin (because I am having trouble holding my urine - and am afraid that would relax that part too, not just my muscle or what ever. Also, am still on a little bit of hydrocodone for a few more weeks - I hope. So, when I am given no more hydrocodone, by my gyno, then I will restart my tramadol.

Please, if anyone has anything, stories or anything close to this issue (has no one had to stop their meds for an operation?). Maybe the 3rd time/post will be the charm?????!!!!!

Thanks for any help that anyone can give me?????
