Synovitis and cystitis

I have been diagnosed with synovitis on my wrist. My rheumatologist is suggesting I go on Methotrexate. I worry there are side-effects. Is there a natural alternative?

>> You are right to be concerned about the prescription of such a strong drug — Methotrexate is prescribed to treat synovitis, though it is typically only used to treat severe, and life-threatening conditions, because of its side-effects.

It is chosen by some specialists to treat synovitis, because it checks abnormal cell growth.
