Once The Swelling Goes Down After Medication, Does Anyone Else Feel Like The Joints Are Far More Vunerable?

I have arthritis in many joints: hands, fingers, knees,thighs, feet, ankles, toes, back ,neck and wrists which really swell .But after taking Methotrexate things have improved, but I am getting a lot more shooting pain.I feel more aware of the vulnerability of my joints.

Hi Val, sorry to hear about your pain.I also had pain in my pelvic, so I can imagine .Things did get better when I saw the Rhematologist and started other medication from the hospital, along with prednisolone. Best wishes jxx
