Difference in Symptoms of OA and RA

[Guest guest]

Hi, everyone. I love this group! You are all so knowledgeable, I know you can

help with this question. I have OA and RA. Among other joints and muscles that

hurt, I also have severe pain in my knees. I don't know whether the pain is

coming from OA or RA. I have severe pain while I am trying to sleep, keeping me

awake for a large part of the night. I try not to take pain meds if I can avoid

it, but sometimes I get so tired, I take a pain pill at night. I am currently

taking only Methotrexate (20 mgs.) I was taking Enbrel, but it gave me

" drug-induced " Lupus. If anyone could help me by describing what they feel, and

whether it is OA or RA, I would really appreciate it.

Thanks in advance!
