3rd dose day. Took MTX last night. This morning was not quite as bad as the last 2 Sundays. Shoulder pain while still rhe worst, not quite as bad. Hip pain not bad at all. Knees and right hand achy. A bit of head ache and nausea that subsided pretty quickly but still wiped out. I'm considering a cortisone shot for right shoulder. Has anyone gone this route?

When first being diagnosed , orthopedic Dr gave me a cortisone shot in the shoulder. It did seem to help for about 2-3 days. But then right back to the pain. The Dr. told me we needed to find another solution because he could only give a couple of those shots without damaging the joint. But I see many use the shot for temporary treatment. It doesnt fix PMR.
