What should I do if I have rheumatoid arthritis, take Folitrax 20 mg weekly, and am experiencing severe ankle pain that is not getting better with rest or dipfenac spray?

Because the discomfort is not responding to rest or your diclofenac spray, it is very important to contact your rheumatologist. This could be an active flare of your rheumatoid arthritis, and your methotrexate (Folitrax) plan may need adjusting. While you wait to speak with them, please rest and elevate your ankle, apply a cool compress, and avoid putting heavy weight on it. Please do not start any new oral painkillers without consulting your doctor first.
