I was diagnosed with RA 3 years ago and given prednisone and hydroxychloroquineThis.helped the pain and inflammation, but I then had 2 hip replacement surgery and was prescribed methotrexate which I have taken for 2 1/2 years. I begged for an alternative treatment and was told I must keep taking methotrexate. I considered…
I have only been on methotrexate 15mg a few days and have noticed that my mood is all over the place. I don't know if it is the methotrexate or just the build up of stress with pain, fatigue and getting diagnosed and eventually starting treatment. I'm prepared to wait it out if it proves worth it though. I have psoriatic…

Then 2 weeks later the pain and discomfort really did kick in. My first question if anyone can help if I dose myself up and feel up to…
Hi all, newbie here. I had a double Midfoot fusion on 4/3/25. RHR in 2014, followed by LHR 2021. My recovery from this op is certainly much tougher than the hips.
