:glasses: I have a Physical Fitness Test comming up in 8 days. Even with the medicine I can still feel a little bit of stiffness in my neck and ring fingers/parts of my wrists. The neck dosent bother me as much but does anybody have ideas on how to handel the selling and or pain on short notice so I will be able to do push ups and sit ups? Any valid/confirmed tips would greatly help.

    NSAIDS (Aleeve etc.) may help wtih inflammation and swelling. When im really in pain my body laughs at it, but it helps with the swelling even if I still am hurting. I would start taking them a few days out at least to see what it does. When you say even with medicine, is prednisone apart of that?

    If I know I am going to be doing a lot of physical activity I will take an ibuprofen before (about 1hr.) I find this help a little but unfortunately I will pay for it later. I suggest lots of rest and lots of water before hand. Good luck and I hope all goes well for you!

    I am on methotrexate but take celebrex as needed. If I know I have something coming up, I will take it for a few days in advance

    Yes, Prednisone and Methotraxate is part of it.
