I have been prescribed 210mg Ferrous Fumarate for about 7 weeks to treat anaemia following blood loss during operation. In the same period my RA condition - pain and stiffness - has seriously deteriorated and has flared up in areas previously not affected. My daily RA treatment is 150mg of Naproxin having previously refused Leflonomide.
Does Ferrous Fumarate worsen RA condition?

Can anyone confirm if this may be a 'side effect' of the iron increase?

Worsening arthritis is not a known side effect of iron supplementation.
It is most likely a coincidence.
