Methotrexate update

Further to stopping MTX last week due to chest pains. I’m just waiting on the chest x Ray results but went to see doc yesterday who thought I may have Costochondritis ( sounds like a budget supermarket! Lol!)

Anyone else experience this?

Seems to be a lot of this going around. See Suet 3942's post from 2 hours ago...

Thanks. I missed that .

I think if you edited the title of your post to start with the word costochondritis you might get more responses.

I kind of think I did, but it's better now. I didn't know what it was, but when I read the symptoms it appears likely that's what I was suffering from. First started a few months before the standard PMR symptoms showed up and I never mentioned to the doctor who eventually diagnosed me a year later as I thought it was unrelated. I'd say it took over four years to clear up, but of course I wasn't getting any treatment, or is there any treatment?

Hi. Yes I have. Please see my reply to Suet3942. Hope you feel better soon. It really hurts doesn’t it!!
