thanks cliffman doctor has not said its pn he says its a reaction to the infection but never had anything like this before I have had itch before with an infection and I do suffer from a bit of health anxiety but don't think this is that he has put me on x3 of 100mg a day for a month then said if its still affecting me will up the dose tbh he is the best doctor there and I trust him but scary is it common for pain in the elbows and knees its mild and comes and goes in the day no swelling but few red patches on palm of my hands where it has slight burning does it sound like pn ?
