I've had this for 10 yrs this month. The first 8 yrs just in left knee and would flare at least once a week. 2 yrs ago it started hurting more and even though I mostly went into remission during my first pregnancy I am no where near going into remission during this one. It has spread from just my left knee to now being mid thigh down to toes, and right knee. It sucks, and I WILL NOT take the meds for fear they will hurt my baby. I would rather suffer than hurt him. I also wasnt treated for rsd for 9 yrs. I was on treatment before I got pregnant again, and I will start treatment after he is born.
