Taking methotrexate and increased pain?

[Barb66]

Hi the pain in my feet seems much worse a day or two after I've taken my methotrexate? Does anybody else experience this?

I get this too! Not too badly now, but I have a few aches and pains after taking MTX. I find having more sleep on the night I take it and the night after helps (if I can). Ironically, joint pain is listed as a side effect...
