Are you experiencing worsening symptoms after your second Tremfya injection?
It's concerning that you're dealing with swollen ankles, feet, toes, and plantar fasciitis after starting Tremfya. While this medication can be effective for many people, what you're describing sounds like it could be symptoms of psoriatic arthritis (PsA) rather than side effects from the injection itself.
Swelling in the feet and ankles, along with plantar fasciitis, are common symptoms of PsA affecting the lower extremities. These symptoms can sometimes appear or worsen even when starting treatment, as biologics can take time to work fully.
However, it's also possible that:
- Your PsA symptoms were already developing and the timing coincided with your injection
- You're experiencing an injection site reaction or other side effect
- The medication hasn't had enough time to control your inflammation yet
It's really important to contact your doctor right away about these symptoms. They can help determine whether this is PsA progression, a medication reaction, or something else entirely. Early treatment of PsA in the feet is critical to preventing permanent joint damage.
