Healing damaged tendons and joints.
Hi all,
I (34m) was officially diagnosed a few weeks ago but, I've had the rashes and joint discomfort for nearly a decade. The thinh that really sent me over the edge was the repeated issues with my triceps tendons. So I went down to the rheumatologist and after talking he tells me that I obviously have PsA and that he wants to skip the usual starting stuff and go right for the biologics. Which at this point I'm game for. He did give a choice of Enbrel, Humira or one of the IL-6 inhibitors, I chose Enbrel as the weekly doses don't bother me and I typically burn through meds faster than normal.
The first question I have is, in your experience will the introduction of the TNF inhibitor give my joints a break enough to heal?
The second is, have any of you had experience using a peptide like BPC-157 while on a TNF inhibitor? If so, what was the results?
