Post autoimmune

issues typically are used to decide on methotrexate therapy.

Methotrexate is a serious decision. Alot of potential downsides:
stomach damage
damage to the bone marrow
lowered white cells -- increased risk of infection
osteoporosis
many other problems

It is not just for "pain". I'd research it carefully.
