Enbrel Week 2

I'm still taking the Enbrel, but I stopped taking Lodine (my other anti-inflammatory) last week because of my upcoming surgery. This makes it hard to judge exactly how effective the Enbrel is. I know it's doing some good, because the last time I stopped the Lodine I was stiff and sore all over, and now I'm not. In fact, I think I'm doing a little better than I was pre-Enbrel. But going down stairs is not quite as easy as it was last week, going up stairs is significantly harder, and there's much more resistance when I walk. (Last week I put the usual amount of effort into walking and I was just zipping down the street, occasionally breaking into a half-trot because my legs were going so fast. Not this week.)
