I do my injection on a Tuesday and the next day is a difficult one I find.
It soon settles down though.
I think you will have to give it time. You could always ring your Rheumy Consultant and ask if they will do a steroid injection. I had this done 3 times, first time when I started MTX at 10 mg and then again when I went up to 15mg. I am now on 20mg because I seem to be showing signs of arthritis in other joints.
Again I had a steroid injection to help me whilst I got the MTX into my system.

Hi Alison, I have MXT injections too, sometimes the area that I have injected is really sore for a few days, my gp says that I might have hit a nerve by mistake, the only thing that I can advise is for your hubbie to talk to your gp if his Rheumy nurse won't listen, hope this helps love Jaspercatxx0
