"Hi, I was diagnosed with Psoriatic Arthritis over a year ago. I suffer with chronic pains in my right hip and recently I’m also suffering with pains in both of my knees. So far I have Sulfasalazine (which I had to stop due to bad side effects) I have been taking Methotrexate for 3 months....after trying tablet form I have now gone onto the injection form starting on 10mg working up to 20mg to help with the sickness side effects. On top of that I have also had 4 steroid injections so far in my treatment. I was was very active as a person and used to love walking, running, cycling, yoga, I can’t do anything anymore....walking is minimum and I have physio every 2 weeks to help strengthen my joints and I do regular exercises given to me by the physio. I’m starting to feel very depressed as I sometimes get better then it flairs up again. Does anyone understand what I. Going through and if Methotrexate works? I’m desperate to get my happy life back "
