psoriatic arthritis


by: Dawna on Mon, Jun 02 2008

I was diagnosed with PA in both feet in 1997. I continued to work as a Care Aide until 2 yrs. ago when the pain became unbearable. My feet are constantly on fire and I feel as if I’m walking barefoot on hot coals with no skin on my feet. I have tried 12 different medications but to no avail has any of them relieved my pain. I am now scheduled for an MRI but can’t get in until Sept. Although I’m not working, I feel as if my condition is worsening. My feet are now swelling and get extremely sweaty and no powders or remedies have helped. My fingers are swelling and becoming stiff and of course I’m thinking I have PA in my hands. Does anyone out there have similar symptoms and have you found any relief???
