Anyone have any experience with this combo. Anything to watch out for? I'm already on hydroxy but inflammation levels have increased and in a lot of pain so im being prescribed methotrexate aswell.
I'm 29 and I've been told I either have Rheumatoid Arthritis (seronegative) or chronic inflammatory arthritis (they're still trying to work it out). I've been told the minimum I will have this is for 2-3 years, but probably longer. If it's Rheumatoid it's lifelong. At the moment my arthritis is so extreme that most days…
Anyone living with this condition like me? I ended up with it due to years of working in an office sat at a desk all day without enough regular breaks.

Hi all, I’m looking for some advice really. For the past year I’ve been experiencing acute flare-ups every month.

The strange thing is it’s not showing up in my blood…
Hi I'm new to this group. I'm 62 and have had diagnosis of osteoarthritis in my hands, ac joints and spondylitis in my neck. The ac joints and neck don't give me much issue at the moment but my hands do. I'm very active both physically at work and in the garden. A while ago I had a "squishy" strawberry which I did hand…
Hi all - does anyone here take Etoricoxib please? I was originally taking Naproxen twice daily along with Omeprazole, but found it wasn't helping. It's just been changed to one x 60mg Etoricoxib with Omeprazole daily...I took it for the first time on Sunday but again felt no relief. I'm wondering if these have to be taken…
