Hello peeps

Knuckle on right hand, index finger, won’t heel after finishing prednisone protocol. Still inflamed.

Any thoughts?

Cheers

contact your rheumy to let them know it hasn’t made a difference, unless you tell them then they’ll assume all is well.

Hi I have similar probs with my knuckles and finger joints.other than your prescribed meds,I use Musselex gel,a green lipped mussel extract that I find certainly takes the edge off my soreness

Please check with your doctors before using anything other than meds prescribed by them just to make sure there’s no contraindications.

Found on ebay, Holland Barratt,Amazon.Gel not oral so no contra issues as suggested by KittyJ

But gels absorbed by the skin can be affected, that’s why I can’t use voltarol gel. Best to check.

Glad to hear Wantplaytennis has shared their successful experience with you, but as KittyJ has said, please do check with a medical professional to ensure there are no contraindications for you as an individual.

Kind regards

Sarah
