Treatment for psoriatic arthritis

Posted Fri 17 Jan 2020 16.42 by Helen

Hi I was recently diagnosed psoriatic arthritis in my foot and finger and have been on Sulfasalazine for the last month but it doesn't seem to have had any effect. My foot is still painful and I have had to have a cortisone injection today. Has anybody on this medication found that it has helped. I am only 53 and was as fit as a flea before I got this. It is beginning to get me down as I cannot do any walking anymore without my foot getting worse. thanks H
