RA, mtx & hydrochloroquinne, poosible GI upsets?

Hi I'm relatively newly diagnosed, taking mtx 10mg weekly and hydroxychloroqinne 200 mg daily for 10 months now. Started on 15mg mtx initially but reduced to 10mg weekly 3 months ago. I am suffering at the moment with what I think is stomach and intestine GI upset.

just burning sensations in upper abdomen and right hand side under ribs, also seems to be radiating down the front of my legs , does not feel like heartburn, It could all be stress as I have been very stressed for the last month because of UTI infection and missing my meds for 5 weeks and now scared of a flare up.. please can anyone offer any advice ?

many thanks
