well daniel has been off the methtrexate only for week and sunday day he was sore last night crying all his left leg was hurting had to give medicine and this morning woke up again ankle sore come home from school and he said i not going playing out i said why he said ankle sore and he sat on the chair poor lad, there dose not seem to be any swelling or heat so worried because i just dont wanna see him as bad as last time scares me the thought of him having to go through that again.

Hi Tina,

It could be the heat that's making Daniel feel worse. The mtx should stay in his system for at least 6 weeks.
Keep giving him painkillers and let him rest when he wants to. An ice pack on his ankle might help.
Hope he feels better soon and I hope his next blood tests are improved so he can get back on the mtx.

Love, Doreen xx

Hi Tina,

I agree with everyone else. Hopefully, Dan's bloods will be back to normal soon and then he can go back onto the mtx.

I came off it for almost 3 months and things were OK for a couple of months, so he should be OK with painkillers for a week or two.

How are YOU now Tina?

Much love
Jeanxxxxx

Thanks guys well woke up this morning to him crying his little heart out, he could not€ walk as soon as presure on it he screamed, was not swollen yesterday but it swollen adn turned in again rung his nurse and she agreed not the meth because stays in your system for 8 week so it just a flare up adn at that time i was thinking just a flare up, i could have screamed lol anyway she put him on extra stronge iburphen and said take him clinic thursday but if he gets any worse ring her in morning. he taken off meth mel cause his bloods alts was high and i ok jean i struggling by wish we do lol thanks

Sorry to hear Dan has problems, the heat doesn't help does it? Could you try putting his feet in a bowl of cool water? I've been doing that every day, it's the only way I can cope at the moment. I'm trying not to stand for long as it's making my feet painful and swollen

I hope he feels better soon.

daniel is still sore and swollen but managed to get him some crutches so that helped, sorry not been on last couple days i am just so exsausted with work home and my body lol

went hospital she said needs injection in ankle as still swollen keep him on tablets and come back next thursday could not fit him in today but if changes ring her, dreading this one just gas and air he always been out for them before but she said he needs to learn to cope with these things especially if he going on meth injection

Hi Tina,
Good to hear that Dan's coping with his pain.
I'm sure he'll manage fine with gas and air if he needs an injection, he'll probably end up laughing his way through it!
Give him a hug from me.
Love, Doreen xx

he is in the pool as you speak mel lol
