I am having a RA flare and my wrists/hands are the worst. I have noticed that my veins in my hands become extremely swollen and painful when they are below my heart. I have never had this happen before. I am taking Enbrel and was just started on methotrexate 2.5mg tablets four pills a week and prednisone 20mg once daily. This has been my worst RA flare ever and it started 3 weeks after hip surgery for FAI. No complications with surgery. The RA flare has been worse than the surgery and the recovery. I can barely use my hands and I am very worried. Please help!
