Hi, recently diagnosed and had first dose of methotrexate. It took me a long time to actually consider using this drug due to its effect it can have on my body.

I currently work gundogs, quite a few and do worry about when the season starts up again and how I will manage.

At present my right hand is affected in that 2 of my fingers can't move and are in a fixed bent position in pain. I'm not allowed any anti inflammatory drugs due to another drug I take for high BP. Can any well tell me that the methotrexate will eventually kick in and I will be able to move them again. Feeling very despondent at the moment.

Thanks
