Increased joint pain day after taking mtx

Roanoke, VA

I know it sounds counter productive, but lately I’ve noticed an increase in joint pain all over the day after taking mtx. Has anyone else experienced this? Thanks.

I am tired for a couple of days after. Yes, I feel pain the day after. However without mtx my RA isn't good. I take 20 MG every Friday. Don't forget folic acid too.
