Hello @Rosedepot and welcome to the Community. We are a friendly and supportive group and I hope that will be your experience as well.

I understand that you have Psoriatic Arthritis, Rheumatoid Arthritis and Fibromyalgia and in pain but looking for alternatives to the steroid injections as the side effects are bad. I am guessing that you have discussed this with your rheumatology team already and I hope that others on here can come up with some suggestions that you can discuss with your consultant. Might be worth having a look at our website - it contains some useful info, for example:

Airwave!

Hot bath and a glass of whisky. Oh and a rheumatologist.
