Im 34 & was diagnosed with RA back in 2008/2009 - was put on MTX, Prednisone & Enbrel. Eventually I was just on Enbrel. Ive had surgery on my right knee due to a meniscus tear. I got pregnant with child #3 & went into "remission" didnt have to take meds while pregnant. I was told by my rheumy that after giving birth I would have a flare. Boy was he right. It didnt happen right away but it started about 10wks after. Baby is now almost 14wks old & I cant bend my knees or walk properly due to the swelling & pain. Forget going up or down stairs. Im also having a lot of pain in my left elbow & neck. I go to see the rheumy on July 31st which feels like a lifetime away. Im currently breastfeeding & hoping I dont have to stop. But if I have to due to being put back on meds just to feel better, then I have no choice- Melissa
