Ken. Retired PA

I was diagnosed with psoriatic arthritis 3 years ago. I have been on multiple oral meds, infusions, and now high dose Cosentyx injections every 4 weeks. It seemed like nothing helped my hand/wrist daily pain and swelling.

An alternative treatment for PsA hand pain

However, I was introduced to an old Native American salve made from the Chaparral plant and 2000 mg CBD Cream mixture that relieves 75-80% of the pain and swelling.

I’m usually not one to even try things not FDA-approved, but this stuff works for me. Now I can do everything with my hands I did many years ago. Please talk with your doctor about giving it a try.
