Hi, everyone,

I’ve been on methotrexate tablets and, the last month been injecting myself. But,the problem is cramp in my thighs and getting worse, this morning took me nearly 20 minutes before I could stand and put weight on my leg, very painful. Is this common with methotrexate or has anyone with Psoriatic Arthritis Sutherland with cramp. I’m even getting it sitting down as well.

Thanks Iain

    I am yet to be diagnosed with the exact type of arthritis (I had steroid injections before seeing my new consultant) but he thinks I may have psoriatic arthritis. I have also felt aches in my thighs. Sometimes it’s hard to tell if it’s exercise pain or just arthritis pain!
