Guest guest Posted May 4, 2004 Report Share Posted May 4, 2004 Hi Margaret. You seem to be describing " sausage toe " which is quite common with PA. Are you on any other medication for the PA? Some of the DMARDS and biologics help people with sausage digits. Wishing you wellness, Kathy F. Does anyone else have a very sore toe? I have P in my big toe nail and the surrounding toe is always red and sore - anyone any advice on what will help. Antibiotics have failed and at the moment I just put neat tea tree oil on it, helps a little but still so sore and red Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest guest Posted May 4, 2004 Report Share Posted May 4, 2004 Hi Margaret I also have a very sore left big toe with P. I do not think antibiotics will work as with P there is an increase in uric acid. Suggest you get your uric acid level checked. Simple blood test. I am on a drug which is called Allomoran in South Africa. If interested I can get the chemical composition. Regards Graham melamed@...

Guest guest Posted May 4, 2004 Report Share Posted May 4, 2004 Advice - YES - go to the Dr. My trip down the bad side of this disease started with a sore toe, it ultimately turned into osteomyelitis and a 10 day hospital stay. Please do this, and continue until it is better. Take Care, Carol M. in CA Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
