Guest guest Posted November 13, 2006 Report Share Posted November 13, 2006 Her only symptom is one swollen finger (PIP joint) very little complaints of pain. Orthopedic Dr. ordered MRI (after xrays...) which showed inflammatory joint damage and bone erosions. Blood work all negative. Followed up with Pediatric Rheumatologist who feels it is probably PA (note: grandfather recently diagnosed after years of Psoriasis). Suggesting aggressive treatment with Methotrexate, and 1mg Folic Acid for side effects. Has anyone had a similar experience? Has anyone had a child on this medication? I've read that nausea is biggest side effect...anything else I should be aware of? Thanks for any/all input! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
