Foot pads, over the counter stuff, Solon pas patches

I was 13 years old with elbow pain. It hurt to write or even hold a pencil.
I was not diagnosed until I was 60. I have zero faith in our medical system

  1. Oh , my heart hurts for you and all the years you were in pain and without a diagnosis! I can only imagine all the challenges and feelings you experienced as a child in so much pain whose symptoms were not addressed. Your lack of faith in our medical system is completely understandable, and I know you are not the only one in our community here who feels this way.

    From your post it looks like you've maybe found a few things that help with the pain now? Are you currently on any treatments for your PsA, or have you mostly just managing symptoms? One of our advocates put together an article with some of her favorite pain relief tips/ideas that I wanted to share with you, https://psoriatic-arthritis.com/living/natural-pain-relief.

    Please know our community is here for you! Sending you gentle hugs. -- Warmly, Christine (Team Member)
