I am now 10 weeks into cimzia and still struggling with an awful flare - how are you getting on? I’m afraid it is having no effect
I have had numerous flares in my knees over the years and the pattern is always, I live with it for a few weeks, it never goes away and I get a steroid injection and aspiration and I am happy again.
This time, swelling stared in second week of jan, I eventually had an injection on the 8th feb but it just has not settled. The injection was difficult and they were not able to aspirate but now say they won’t do another.
The pain and swelling is really getting me down - it has been 8/9 weeks now and it is not settling.
I switched from humira to cimzia arounD the time of the flare up (with the intention of stopping my knee flare ups which I still had on humira every 6 months.)
