I only started on MTX last week so it hasn't kicked in yet, I had also had a steroid injection that I think has worn off! I work full time and currently having a flare up in my wrist a and knee! What pain relief shall I take? X

    Hi..im on 25mg of metho..and if I need extra relief I found Zapain is very good and also  diligence slow release.

    I must say the metho is very effective.
