Hi everyone
I was diagnosed with polymylagia some 8 years ago, on steroids for 3 years till it departed but left me with rheumatoid arthritis. At moment not on medication as had bad reaction to both methotrexate and sulfasaline.
At moment having trouble with right hand, waiting to speak to my nurse specialist. Not sure where I go from here.

Hi @Eileen74 and welcome to the Online Community, lovely to have you here.
Sorry to hear you have rheumatoid arthritis arising out of polymyalgia and that you are now experiencing problems in your hand.
There is some useful information on our web site regarding hand and wrist pain that you might find helpful before the consultation:
It also includes information on specific conditions, exercises you might try that can help and also some useful links.
You might also like to take a look at this discussion about others who have a similar problem with taking sulfasalazine and methotrexate:
Do let us know how you get on and what you will decide to do next.
Best wishes
Brynmor
