Knee still inflamed after 3months suffering fr PSA

[kimaudrey]

Hi everyone .Im back and after 3months of PSa , I am wondering if i can still walk normally ? When i was diagnosed with psoriatic arthrities ,the fluid on my left knee was removed .

However until today that knee remains inflamed that I have to drag it ..I cant bend it .I am taking 15mg of methotrexate now and sulphasalizine

I am very bothered that i lost lots of weights already and I want to know if I can still walk. straight at least ..with this like knee cap is stiff does it mean my knee is deformed ?

Im having this nauseaus and feels like vomiting everytime i eat

Looking forward to all ur advices

Hi kimaudrey, I think you need to speak to and see your rheumy about this. Dragging your leg along could cause other problems for you and they can look at it and give you the answers to your questions. I hope you get some relief soon.

Hi thanks for ur reply. The Rheuma insists taking the methotrexate irregardless of the nausea and vomitting .The Rheuma insist to just be patient .While my skin lesions are lighter now my knee and my thumb still remains inflamed

I would still go back to them. If it’s affecting you so much you can’t eat then they need to know that 😊

Thx louise .May i ask u will I be still be able to walk straight?????

[kimaudrey]

I can walk but sucks!And when goin down the stairs its reallly hard..wat do u suggest i should do? I want to walk straight and be able to work again

When my knees really bad I walk backwards down the stairs which is less stress on knee. Worked for me for 3 weeks till my knees decided to behave a little.

[kimaudrey in reply to Hidden]

I tried this as well and it works .However if the stairs are too steep ,i cant walk backwards

It freaks my husband out he is convinced a more risky method!
