I am on a prescription nsaid from the comp doctor. Lodine, 400 mg, twice a day. It hasn't been long enough yet to tell if it will help. I take it with food to keep it from upsetting my stomach. I know a bit about the medications, my stepdad is on a lot of them. He gets some sort of IV every 4 weeks, and he is on the methitraxate (sp?) and prednisone. He may be on others as well. I'm going to try wearing my knee braces again too. The comp doctor gave me tubigrip when I first hurt my knee, it's kind of like an ace bandage, except it's in the shape of a tube, you don't actually have to wrap it. My mom suggested I see the rheumatologist my stepdad sees, he is supposed to be good. I applied for insurance today as well. I should know in 3-5 days if I am approved. The insurance agent thought I would be though.
