Is starting methotrexate "overkill "

Yes, I saw a rheumatologist, and her recommendation is methotrexate. She said it was okay to take Aleve for awhile to see if I don't get worse. (But I believe she's thinking I'll end up with the methotrexate.) I also have osteoporosis, so steroids are not recommended because they may compromise my bones.

Thank you for your response!

I have osteoporosis and a few days of steroids is okay but not a long term solution.

Aleve is not as potent as some NSAID's that are available.

I would try hand PT!
