Hello Dear,
Thanx for showing interest in HCM. I can understand your concern regarding your symptoms.The most likely symptoms of Rheumatoid arthritis are joint pain specially in hands feet and knees, swollen joint,stiffed joint, joint redness, loss of joint function,joint warmth, joint deformity,fever, fatique. whatever you are suffering,these are symptoms of RA.
I would advice that you should stop smoking while on methadone medication, as smoking slow down the effect of methadone. you have to avoid alcohol and avoid driving while on methadone medication.
you need to consult your physician for complete evaluation of your problem as methadone known to cause heart rhythm disorder.
I do hope that you found the answer helpful. Best Wishes.
