Guest guest Posted March 20, 2007 Report Share Posted March 20, 2007 Hi all, I have tried to read and understand. I am 33 yr old male. My Rhumey says he thinks i have PA and treats me accordingly. About 2-3 yrs ago, I started having flakes show up on my shirt on my shoulders. I guess dandruf. About a year ago, after some joint jain in figers and rist, i went to a rhumey and derm. the only skin issues where on the back of my head, so he took samples and said it was P. My head flakes like dandruf, but they say it is P. therefore, since I have joint pain, it must me PA. after blood and all, it is not RA. Here is how i hurt. fingers, can close them sometimes elbows, sore to touch sometimes, sometimes ok top to right foot sometimes can squeeze hand tight to lift even a pillow cant hardly move while in bed sometimes not hardly any back problem or hip shoulders hurt some too i am wondering if it could be tendons? I wrists hurt so bad i have to rock back and forth to get momentum to get up. I took metho for a year and it came and went. i got a call 2 months ago and they said my liver studies looked odd and to stop. i did, went back, more blood and all good, however, i stayed off metho to see what would happen. i did real well for a month, then started hurting again. not sure it the metho wore off or something. Rhuemy wants to to try injections too, he doesnt know if am off metho at this point for 2 months. plus i take declofanac 2 times a day and it seems to help with inflammation. please help, i need an info i can get. i am not convinced i even have PA at this point, could be something else since i only have P on my scalp in 2 little places, does that make sense?

Guest guest Posted March 21, 2007 Report Share Posted March 21, 2007 If I were you I would get a second oppinion. It wouldn't hurt. This disease has no diffenitive tests so can't be sure that is what it is. But it could be. See another Dr. to be for sure.
