am new to comments. I have had Psoriatic Arthritis for many years. Treated with many drugs. Last few years on Embrel injections but began site reactions so just changed to Humaria last week. Will want and see if this continues to help. Pain is your concern. Not only do I have PA I have Multiple Myeloma Cancer. Extreme pain to lower back. (10). Tried opioids even. Not good. Put on 300 mg of Gabapentin 2xD and pain from 10 to almost 2 level. Also use Tramadol for pain with Tylenol. Can’t take Iberprophens due to heat issues. Hopefully you’ll find the right medication to help with your pain.

I’m new here. Hope this is going where intended.
I also have PsA and recently tested for an mspike in my monthly labs between infusions of Cimzia.
Sent me to oncology and he said it was a low spike and possibly a false positive. Going for more labs.
Curious if you had multiple myeloma prior to your PsA treatment with embrel. I can’t help but think these biologics have adverse effects.
