Hello Everyone,
I hope u guys are well.
I was recently diagnosed with PsA. i start my treatment next week. I am 32 years old, always had joint issues, injuries and pain but never really questioned it until I stopped being able to walk properly 3 months ago. I went from being a fit athlete to someone who needs help going up the stairs.
Not really sure what to expect honestly. Am I ever getting back my range of motion ? Will the pain go away? I've been in constant pain for the past 3 months, mainly my lower back and both sacroiliitis along with my right wrist.
Any tips will be highly appreciated.

Hi @Dania. Being newly diagnosed I am sure you are filled with questions. Please feel free to ask any questions you have. There is never a dumb question. Psoriatic Arthritis is a journey. The biggest tip I can give you is do not settle when a treatment does not work for you. Keep going until you find the treatment that does. We are all here to support you. Also I wanted to let you know about a program that the National Psoriasis Foundation has called One to One. You can be matched with someone to talk to or bounce questions off of. What treatment will you be starting? Vickie W., Team Member

Thank you Lori and Vickie!
Day 04 after my first dose of cosentyx. No major changes in pain or range of motion. Side effects extreme headache dizziness and nausea. Hopefully dose 02 won't be bad. Physio and diet are helping but very slowly.
