Hi, it started by an occasional pain in hands around a year ago and started medications for rheumatoid then became worse and changed doctors. I have been diagnosed by many doctors many different diseases. Some doctors say I have ankylosing spondylitis, others say rheumatoid (even though my r.f is normal), and others say I do not suffer of anything but some stiffness, and I should lose some weight. I have been taking cosentyx for about 8-9 months with salazopyrin and other things. I started to feel weaker and more symptoms started to appear like cracking sounds and feeling of the joints gliding on each other or others doing friction with each other after I started the medication. My question is if I really have nothing, what is the effect of the medications and the cosentyx on my body? And might it be causing me those symptoms.
