Methotrexate and healing broken bones

0 Replies

I'm on 7.5mg injections so quite low and RA in controlled remission. I broke my femur in 4 places in Nov 2017 and had op with rods and nails, after 6 months on ultra sound Exogen as not healing, in Feb had another op removing rod and nails and had plate and bone graft but still not healing. Next is stopping my MTX to see if that solves this problem. Has anyone had a similar experience?
