 Topic: Immediate Relief?
Posted: 30 August 2009 at 4:47am |
I was diagnosed with Psoriatic Arthritis about 4 weeks ago and have been suffering for about 3 months. It started as pain in my hands in the morning. Then, I looked down one day and noticed that my left ankle was swollen. The swelling traveled up my calf and then into my knee. The swelling in my knee got to the point where I could not walk and I ended up in the hospital 3X until I finally saw a rheumatologist. I've now been on methotrexate 15mg for 3 weeks and take my 4th dose tomorrow. It has not helped yet. I have pain and swelling in my hands, feet, shoulders, and knees. It had been my left knee only, but as of the last few days, my right knee is as swollen as my left was originally. It's hard to limp when both knees are swollen.
Now, I can barely walk. As you all know too well, it's hard to get in to see a rheumatologist on short notice. I see one on Wed (2nd opinion) and my original Dr a week from Wed. In the meantime, is there anything I can do to immediately relieve the massive swelling in my knees, so that I can walk, go to work, get up stairs, etc? I called my primary and he said to hold off to see the RH. Should I just go to the hospital and see if they will give me a steroid injection?
This disease really sucks. Appreciate any help. Thanks!

I'm sorry you're feeling so much pain. I understand. I'm fairly new to the whole thing myself and my symptoms are not well controlled yet. I have gotten some relief from warm compresses and prednisone works fairly well in just a few days. Prednisone has nasty side effects though and everytime I try to cut back my dose I have a bad flare up. You may need to ask for pain meds just to be able to do your daily activities for awhile. I hope this helps. Good luck.

Hi and welcome to the forum. MXT may not kick in on it's own and your RD may prescribe a biologic. You can try hot compresses or a moist heating pad, alternate with ice. There's not much you can do till your appt. I know it's disappointing but that's the nature of the disease. Talk to your doctor about an antinflammatory, Enbrel, and possibly Prednisone to get you through this initial onset, also somehting for pain. I'm really sorry that you're having such a tremendous amount of pain. The onset of PsA seems more painful than the recurring flares. Take care and please keep us posted on how you're doing. Lindy

THERE IS NO CURE for rheumatoid arthritis and the same for psoriatic arthritis. Are the researchers and scientists around the world lying to us? If what you're promoting is a cure why don't the scientists and my doctor know about this cure? Why hasn't this appeared in every medical journal and in every newspaper headline? What a bunch of crap. Please go prey on others.

Sorry, I'm not buying your product or your speech. No matter where you are in the world if you had a cure for rheumatoid arthritis you and your cure would be making headlines around the world. I'd be reading about you in the newspaper and not your self promotion on a forum. Lindy

There is no cure for PSA. Period.
MTX sometimes takes a few weeks to kick in. Give it a chance. I had a rough time with the MTX in the beginning, but once my new rheumatologist told me to take folic acid, the miserable stomach upsets and flu-like symptoms went away. I have been on it for 15 years now. I swear by it. Once it does kick in and the inflammation subsides, make sure to get yourself into a solid exercise regimen. It doesn't have to be at the triathalon level. For me it's just walking at a brisk pace EVERY morning for 30 minutes.
I would like to say, too, that no one but a rheumatologist should be treating you for this disease. I have learned over the years that most physicians who are not rheumatologists are clueless about PSA.
Good luck!
