skin was 40% covered, I went on steroids for a few weeks and gained a lot of weight. I have the bottom three vertebrae now bone-on-bone so I can't walk anymore. I'm waiting for CT-guided injections in a month or so. The groin pain is horrific, I'm on 80mg Targin and it does nothing. We added Lyrica but I stopped because it made no difference.

Members came together to support someone dealing with swollen groin lymph nodes while on psoriasis medication, with many sharing that lymph nodes throughout the body can swell due to inflammation, infection, or autoimmune activity. Several members offered practical home remedies including castor oil packs with heat to increase circulation and warm compresses to facilitate drainage, while emphasizing the importance of getting lymph node biopsies if malignancy is a concern. A recurring theme was the frustration many feel with doctors dismissing medication side effects, the original poster sharing that their healthcare relationships broke down when providers refused to acknowledge their severe reaction to Taltz, leading them to report it directly to the manufacturer and seek alternative pain management through cannabis.

might want to try casor oil packs on the area to increase circulation. Sorry you are on so many meds, meds (all meds) come with side effects. I used to have neck/groan swollen nodes. Symptoms of auto immune disorders. Rubbing some castor oil on the location will help with circulation, heat will aid the oil to go deeper.
