Can Consuming Prednisone, Sulfasalazine And Remicade For Treating Rheumatoid Arthritis Result In Further Cramps In Feet And Arms?
I have RA and I am taking predisone 3 daily along with sulfalsalazine 4 daily. I am also taking remicade/infusion 4th trreatment. I am expericing cramps ; mostly in my feet and occassionaly in my hands. Is this because of any of the meds? I am 64. Thank You
Hello there! Age of 64 with RA and so much meds with so much possible complications, its very difficult to sort out the extremity cramps, it might possibly be due to the RA or the meds themselves. But I believe you need dose adjustment and see if there is a change. Cheers S Khan
