My reactive arthritis occurred after my sister infected me with her own respiratory infection. Although, I had no cough, fever, runny nose, it hit me back in the spine. I have issues on 2 disks O3-O4 and O4-O5. At first, I had loss of appetite leading to malnutrition and me losing weight. My hematocrit dropped and the inflammation grew. I lost ability to walk since it affected both of my legs. I could walk but not steadily, balance issues. Eventually, I got medication by December first, during October and November only exercise and physiotherapy. I wasn't sure I was sick and the pace wasn't rapid. My left foot ankle also got swollen on the 30th of November. I've had Naprosyn for the first 21 days of December and now I am on Medrol. I hope I recover fully one day. I also have to fix my dropped hematocrit.

There has been progress; rheumatologist today changed the medication. Apart from Medrol which I shall still take for the next 3 weeks, I will also from tomorrow begin weekly injections of methotrexate for 3 months, at least. It's turning to either psoriatic arthritis or ankylosing spondylitis, which was his verdict today. And I feel like shit.

@@faisalgorm1965 No. Till the end of March, I will be on methotrexate weekly injections and 4mg Medrol. By middle of March, the rheumatologist is going to put me on the even stronger medication than methotrexate, biological something; that's what he said.

There are many videos on arthritis type inflammation from infection but never say what infection types are the cause or what type antibiotics are used. Otherwise well presented video.
