Hi, just come back from my appointment and been diagnosed with this condition. Been prescribed methotrexate. If anyone has any tips pointers that they can pass on. In daily pain and hopefully this works for me. Thanks

Hi Sammy I am close to Leeds and see Rhemotoilogy Consultant in Harrogate....I was told they have a protocol to follow in which and when particular medication is prescribed.....I began with oral Methotrexate ....hopefully by now it may have kicked in or you have increased the dosage sadly it takes time to know what suits each person......whilst I moved on up through the protocol I relied heavily on Celecoxib2.....don't be fobbed off with Naproxen and you also need Tramadol or Codeine at my worst i was prescribed Oxycodine (Longtec) by my GP .....it's so important to be able to manage the pain so you can mobilise and be able to sleep a while...... it's a 'journey' but you will see much improvement and relief
