I am dealing with the same thing now. Have taken Mobic or naproxen for years and it is not doing a thing for pain. Doc Just put me through a series of prednisone and most of the pain was gone. Going to a ra for a constltation the middle of January and my gp wants me on the methotrexate. Scary with the decrease of autoimmune system and having to get tested for tb and other things pretty regularly. Can't wait to see if it helps!
