Brief Answer:
Psoriatic arthritis
Detailed Answer:
good evening
thank you for writing on health care magic
Well, I have gone through your history. there are a few put falls which I would like to understand :
1. when you have pain in the legs, is it in the knees or hip or the foot? An swelling associated?
2. Do you have intolerance to injection folitrax? like if we increase the dose to 20mg will it be a problem?
3. is any rheumatologist following you up?
4. I didn't understand why you being given such high dose of vitamin d injections.. arachitol is good enough for 6 months.. that is one dose
5. other thing we need to distinguish is, if it is really psoriatic arthritis or osteoarthritis troubling you as management will change accordingly. Daily Nucoxia will do more harm than good
6. have you tried leflunomide yet
Do let me know these queries. would guide you further from here
