5/5/08 Called my Rhumy because my right leg had tripled in size and it so bad.  The knee was on fire and the toes were cold.  Since I called at 4:15 they said that he would call me tomorrowmorning.  The next morning at 9:oo the doctor office called and said they wanted me there by 10:00.  The were squeezing me in.  I had to wait awhile for him but that was ok being I only called the day before.  First thing he said was "What did you do to your leg".  He then said there are two things we are doing.  1) He was going to drain the knee and then put cortisone in.  Cortisone causes bad bad night sweats.  2)I was going to the hospital to have a catscan to have them look for a blood clot.  The worst pain was when he inject the numbing stuff.  I screamed.  He did it twice.  I feel so much better with my leg today but woke with a big bump on the back of my head.  Tomorrow I see my primary care physician and will ask her about that.
