A member asked:

My esr in blood test is 8 mm/h crp 1.5 mg/l so why still pain in all my body ?. 15 mg methotrexate weekly one year for rheumatoid arthritis

Need more info: What areas are involved? How long have you had symptoms? Have you been on a higher dose of methotrexate ever. Maybe add another drug--plaquenil. Sounds like you need to revisit your rheumatologist. Feel better
