A member asked:
Sle on plaquenil (hydroxychloroquine) 400, mtx 10, butrans 10mcg. why is pain worse at night?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
Pain at night: Pain of any sort tends to be worse at night because the body's natural anti-inflammatory (steroid) levels r at their lowest. Perhaps your rheumatologist can adjust your med regimen to provide better nighttime coverage for pain.
