Newly diagnosed wanting some confirmation

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

Hello Clare, I hope your imaging all went well! I have the same thing, and I did find out from all of my imaging I have ankylosing spondylitis, degeneration, and stenosis within my spine and I have a lot of inflammation in my hips causing pain and stiffness. I was told by my Rheumatologist this is common with autoimmune and trying to get the inflammation down is the best thing to help. I did do PT and that helped me learn a lot of stretches to do to help relieve some of the pain and aches. The best thing that helps me is hot baths with Epsom salt, rest, stretches, and staying on top of my medicine. I started taking black seed oil daily recently and I have noticed a difference, but it is so soon I couldn't personally say this is something I would recommend yet to anyone.
