Cimzia and arm and leg pain
Thanks for all the comments. This is what I have done since I wrote my comment. I have had an MRI of my left arm that is normal. My GI and I have decided to skip the Cimzia shots for Feb. and he will take me down from 2 Entocort to 1 Entocort on Feb, 14th, and he has put me back on Pentasa 4000 mg. a day all for now to see if I am possibly reacting to the Cimzia in having the muscular pain. He said it would take about 4-6 weeks to get out of my system and maybe we will find out by doing this, I am due back in his office March 19th to talk about my how I am feeling at that time. He said if it is not the Cimzia I should not have a problem starting back on it as it has helped my Crohn's Disease, however I can't continue with the muscular pain if that would be what is causing it.
I was placed back on the Entocort during the Holidays because that stopped my pain during the Holidays and was still on Cimzia, too. It will be interesting to find out what is going to happen in the next 2 months on this trial and error method . I always had my Cimzia injections in my thighs or abdomen. I also ask my Dr. if I could be Entocort dependent as when he places me back on it temporarily my s/s go away but he said no, that wouldn't be the problem.
Thanks for all the support, this is very helpful!!
