Sorry Kazzie but it sounds like it. What have they put you on instead of Mtx?

Hi Kazzie, I am sorry to hear you are having so much pain. I hate to say it but it does sound like the pain of RA. Your Rheumy should be able to put you on another medication treatment if you cant tolerate the MTX. Can you take prednisone? Good luck keep us up to date. Rose X
