Evening all,
Has anyone experienced Septic Arthritis due to RA? What were your symptoms?
I'm having the worst pain and swelling in my left knee that I've ever had. I had an emergency appt with Rheumatology this morning who drained fluid from my knee and sent off for testing as it was cloudy? They also gave me a steroid injection into the knee which did help a little but I'm still in so much discomfort that I can't sleep. I'm worried about infection and desperate for some relief.
Just to add, I'm currently on steroids to treat a widespread flare up. They have helped everything except my knee.
Sorry for the long post. Any advice/experiences welcome xx
