What Causes Pain In Feet And Ankles After Taking Minoxidil?
I have RA - just started taking Minoxidil and have extreme pain in my ankles and feet. Also started Actemra. could either of these be the cause of the pain in my feet and ankles? My bp is staying at borderline/high level and if I am the least bit late taking the med, my bp sky rockets.

hello,
none of these drugs should be the cause of pain in your feet.
it would be better to get your esr, crp tested
if these are high then the pain is probaby because of disease exacerbation.
