Is your mid-back pain worse with movement and preventing you from walking?
Your experience sounds challenging, especially with multiple factors at play. While Bimzelx has been helpful for your psoriatic arthritis, the mid-back pain you're describing is worth discussing with your doctor.
Typically, inflammatory back pain from psoriatic spondylitis is worse after rest (like in the morning) and improves with movement and activity. Pain that worsens with movement is less characteristic of inflammatory arthritis and might be related to your other conditions, like your scoliosis at T10 or the nerve damage from postherpetic neuralgia.
What MySpondylitisTeam members have shared:
A MySpondylitisTeam member mentioned: "Heat on my back, use Icy Hot, yoga, and water therapy. Must keep on keeping on."
Another member found relief through gentle movement: "I was tired of feeling so stiff every morning. I started yoga during lockdown and found it so helpful that now I don't want to go a day without it."
Important next steps:
Since this pain is preventing you from walking, it's crucial to contact your rheumatologist or doctor soon. They can help determine if this is related to your PsA, your scoliosis, nerve damage, or something else entirely. They may recommend imaging or adjustments to your treatment plan.
