I have had an extremely bumpy fall and winter so far, including an
unnecessary knee scope (some might remember my ortho thought it was a
meniscal tear, then a chondral thing, then reactive arthritis etc), and
an ultimate diagnosis of psoriatic arthritis. I don't know if anyone is
familiar with PA, but I seem to have a pretty mild case, mostly causing
pain and swelling one knee, stiffness in a couple of fingers and also
plantar fasciitis.
I started a couple of different meds that have really started to work
nicely (a DMARD and an NSAID), and I am now able to really start to get
back into it again--carefully. I am ramping up slowly, working very
hard to maintain my quad, ham, and calf tone. My rheumatologist is
totally supportive of my running, and it actually seems to keep the
pain and stiffness at bay.
Goals:
Stay healthy.
