Some of the biological injections for RA...come to mind as potential nerve damaging agents...

Enbrel and
Humira:

An oral agent not used as much today, is also implicated:
Arava.

I would think that nerves very close to affected inflamed joints would possibly also be affected by the inflammatory process of RA. It can be hard to separate out arthritis pain from nerve pain... I have that problem now myself.
