Hi all, just joined the group. I've been on RA meds since 2018, take Cimzia, methotrexate, sulfa, but in the last few days developed a sharp pain in one finger on my left hand, as well as a node on that finger. Also been experiencing jaw pain that seems like TMJ. I have an appointment with my RA doc on August 31; should I get in to see him sooner Are these signs my meds are no longer working? Thanks for any advice.

Sounds like the usual sort of thing that happens with a lot of arthritic diseases. If this was me I’d mention it at next appointment. If this is your first change since diagnosis you are doing well I think!
