Abstract

Normally, the cause of medial tibial stress syndrome is the overloading of the tibia as seen frequently in athletes and military recruits. This case report describes a physically inactive 49-year-old male patient suffering from psoriatic arthritis with the classic symptoms associated with medial tibial stress syndrome. The symptoms were due to the use of methotrexate and ceased by lowering the dosage.
