For dactylitis (swollen digits), steroid injections directly into the affected areas can provide quick relief from inflammation and discomfort. This might be worth discussing with your doctor as a targeted approach alongside your current treatment. Regarding Rinvoq, it's a newer JAK inhibitor that has shown promise for psoriatic arthritis when other treatments haven't worked. However, it's important to be aware of potential risks, including:

- Cardiovascular complications (stroke, heart attack)
- Increased risk of blood clots
- Possible increased risk of certain cancers
- Reduced ability to fight infections

Since you're experiencing some benefit but not complete relief, work closely with your rheumatologist to weigh these risks against the benefits you're receiving. Many MyPsoriasisTeam members have tried multiple medications before finding the right combination. While some have found success with Orencia after trying other biologics, treatment response varies significantly between individuals. Consider keeping a symptom diary to track your response to any medication changes, which can help inform future treatment decisions.
