Hi There, hope you are all ok and not too sore today 
I've had PA for the past 2 and a half years and have been on various different meds, currently on Leflunomide and steroid injections.
But for the past 3 or 4 months I've been experiencing a different sort of pain all over my body, definetely not arthritis pain as its not specifically in my joints. Its like a burning sort of pain and my skin hurts to touch in places, the pain is worse in my back and neck and I'm not sleeping very well at all as I'm in pain all the time.
I'nm beginning to think I'm going mad but has anyone else experienced this type of pain, is it just related to the arthritis or something else entirely? Am due to see GP tomorrow but just wondered about other peoples thoughts?
Love Jo xx

Hi Jo
I have something similar in my feet, red and very hot, painful to the touch. I was first told it was oa then nerve damage and I now have an appointment with a vascular surgeon. Basically they don't seem to know what's going on but if I ever find out I'll let you know.
Have you been to the Dr. to see if he has any idea? I would give it a try.
Love
