Dactylitis pain relief suggestions

Posted Thu 18 Oct 2018 17.52 by JFC

Hi - I’m 57, female, had PsA for about 8/9 years & been on methotrexate for the past 4 years, I’m currently suffering chronic pain due to Dactylitis in 1 of my toes. Sounds pathetic to say a pain in your toe is bad enough to make you cry, but I’m hoping somebody out there has been through it and can understand; it’s stopping me walking, sleeping,even the bed covers touching it is painful. It isn’t due to infection so antibiotics won’t do anything. I’m taking Co dydramol st full whack (prescribed for a knee problem called a meniscus tear) but it isn’t really touching it and was thinking about trying CBD oil. It’s a 5 week wait for a GP appointment & I’m feeling a bit desperate, any suggestions gratefully received!
