Anyone else feel slightly worse - joint stiffness, muscle aches - for a few hours after taking their methotrexate dose?

Yes, I do but not for a few hours after, with me it's more like 2 - 3 days after and I feel really exhausted for round about the same amount of time too.

I feel hungover the next day. I’m better if it inject it right before I go to bed, so sleep off the worst of it. If you don’t already, I would recommend this.,

I sometimes feel a little achey the day of, but was wondering if it was because I was due for my dose? Interesting to read the other replies.

The day after my MTX injection I usually don't feel 100% as in low energy, nausea and fatigue. Some weeks I'm absolutely fine and some (like today) I could fall asleep in a split second!😴 No aching muscles or joints though.
