Anyone else with this type of arthritis?
I was diagnosed with inflammatory arthritis(i also have osteoarthritis)after contracting a children's virus (slapped cheek) I was ill for 3 months about 11 years ago, it developed into human parvovirus/fifth disease ( not the same as dogs get lol🤦♀️) it made my immune system plummet which then left me with painful joints and inflammation and constant flare-ups. Apart from Gabapentine and Etorocoxib I am on Hydroxychloroquine and methotrexate.
Interested to see if anyone else has this type of arthritis?

I haven't ever heard of this @Shazmay , but I ahve heard of reactive arthritis which sounds a bit similar:
Lots of us take the same meds as you and we all understand pain. To quote an old friend 'We all get it because we've all got it'!
