Facet joint injections cure... Honesty

[jiml]

I've just signed up today as I feel I need to share this with all fellow sufferers. I've suffered for years, nails, feet, elbow, knees, bottom. I've used every potion known to no avail.  however I recently suffered extremely bad back pain and have had steriod in junctions to my facet joints...i am 2 weeks post injections and I do not have one patch on my body....true, honestly, have any doctors on this forum a reason behind this and why is it not being offered as a solution to the terrible creams and medication? ...  Has anyone else had the same injections with the same results?

Hi Kennettz and a big    to the forum, I will tell you right away that we don't have any doctors on the forum it is just sufferers here who help each other get by with this terrible disease , we share information on medications and what does and doesn't work for us

I'm glad the Facet joint steroid injections have had a desired effect on your psoriasis and cleared it,

That is not unexpected as the steroids are likely to work on the psoriasis in a similar way to putting steroid creams on only they are putting it directly into your system.in a probably larger dose ..hopefully the clearance will last for you, if not get to a dermatologist and ask for one of the systemic treatments see Oral Treatments For Psoriasis for alternatives should the psoriasis come back

Enjoy your time on the forum, we are a friendly group and welcome new members and invite you to look around and if you want something a bit more light hearted join us in the off topic section
