Sorry you are going thru this. My son is now tapering to 10 mg prednisone and is taking celebrex 100 mg once a day. The worst part of the reactive arthritis for him is every time he has some good days in a row and thinks he is getting better, the pain and stiffness in his knees comes back. Today he is in a lot of pain. He had an MRI for right knee and waiting on results. He sees rheumatologist Friday and he was hoping to not have to go on Methotrexate or Humira so we will see what doc recommends. Hope you are having a good day!
