My Rheumatologist diagnosed me with Sacropenia in February. I asked him if either Methotrexate or Infliximab had caused this condition. He said that they were not involved and that Sacropenia was the result of age and poor mobility. I now have to take 70-90 g of protein a day and follow physio exercises.
