Newly diagnosed wanting some confirmation

Posted Sat 6 Sep 2025 18.39 by ClareM66

Hello - I'm Clare I have (maybe!) PsA and am experiencing sharp pains in my hands (one sausage finger + one knuckle joint) and now have a pain in the fatty part of the sole of my foot. Like walking on pebbles. Plus a pain in the side of one hip and the upper back of leg (like sciatica). I wondered if anyone else experiences these and if so do you follow any homeopathic support - I'm keen to exercise, eat well and take natural help where possible. I've had some x-rays (wrists, ankles) and an MRI (spine & hips - I wake with hip pain) and am waiting for results. Thanks so much Happy Saturday Clare

Hi Clare Happy Saturday to you too! Random annoying symptoms seem to be pretty much par for the course. Much will settle when you have your diagnosis and treatment plan. Eating well, exercising within your capabilities and pacing yourself are all things you can do which will help. I find acupuncture very useful but there are so many alternative therapies out there which may help to improve your sense of wellbeing and ability to cope with your life with PsA. Good luck and try to keep positive Rose x
