Hi thanks for your question.
You are taking toclizumab drug for rheumatoid arthritis.
Its side effect are constantly being studied by several studies.
It can lead to sore throat, fever, flu like symptoms so you can suffer from muscle and bone pain.
There is no evidence regarding its direct effect on muscle cramp.

If side effect more and serious like stomach pain, bleeding then consult doctor.
