Hi i was diagnosed with sero negative arthritis nearly 3 months ago i have it in my hands and feet ,i take sulfasalzine, naproxin stomach liner plus pain killers anyway i have had a steroid injection plus 500 steroid infusion and last week i had 1gr steroid infusion and each time they have made a slight improvement for 2 days then it goes back to normal. does anyone know what the next step may be as i know they said i can have up to 3 infusions but seems silly if they aren't working. My pain is not as bad but i stil can't make a fist and the fingers are very swollen.
