Psoriatic Arthritis Signs and Symptoms | Johns Hopkins Medicine

[@KatherineRoseArt]

I have moderate to severe guttate and scalp psoriasis since I was 2 years old. Then since I hit my 30s , nail (mostly only certain toenails and 1 thumb. they come up off the bed and have lost toenails a few times from it), inverse, and bad joint issues. Wish I could afford treatment. I had health insurance for a while and even with my ins. Humira (which was the only one the insurance would cover at all) was gonna be 900 bucks a month out of pocket. Not even possible. I gave up. I just survive in a world of pain pretty much. *shrug* It would be nice if the US could get it's crap together when it comes to affordable healthcare.

Weird that scalp psoriasis is most connected with psoriatic arthritis. I wonder why that is, but it explains why every time my scalp flares I get pain in my shoulder!

[@sweetnsalty4602]

OMG I just left the ER for this and I look it up on you tube and I see you! I know you probably don’t know who I am, but I watch your videos and I am a sub! I had no idea we had that this in common🤯 Hope you’re doing good💕

[@KatherineRoseArt]

It's all to do with your immune system. If you get sick or extremely stressed it can cause flares all over. That happened to me when I got the flu last year. My psoriasis actually started to flare before i even showed symptoms i was sick. and then about halfway through being sick i started to get inflamed joints too. my scalp has never cleared up any since. its been absolutely terrible ever since.

She just described everything I have for psoriatic arthritis. It hit me all at once; can't hold a glass of water or walk without a limp. I'm shedding my scalp like a lizard. Helped me narrow down what kind of Doctor I should see,

[@wisdomseeker3362]

Alabama Woodsman Same here. Do you find your whole body in terrible pain ?

[@planespeaking]

I am going through the process of diagnosis for psoriatic arthritis. It started with peri anal psoriasis which was misdiagnosed and then moved to my scalp. Now have chronic fatigue, joint, muscle pain, sore eyes, minor joint inflammation but much pain. General feeling of being unwell too. All bloods sero-negative waiting for results of x-rays MRI and further bloods. Frustrated, exhausted, and in pain. My psoriasis on knees, lower legs, scalp, ears, and natal cleft has been a lot better since topical steroids and vit d ointment and scalp treatment but still itchy.

I have psoriatic arthritis I'm 33 , I've had two lower back surgeries I have back issues but I developed PA after my surgeries, and not to mention that when it gets rainy and gets cold my hips ache I'll get sharp shooting pains that goes back and forth from my hip to my knee mostly on my right side.

[@annusharma6421]

I have on my right side too

[@Devy717]

I'm 27 but I get the same, I have sciatica and was born with a kneecap that didn't fit right. Back pain is horrible had it before pregnancy, before an epidural. I've started noticing that too. Rainy days hurt my hips and joints especially right side. It wakes me up like a shock when I'm about to sleep

[@mariecramer2279]

This was presented nicely

[@TheNStone81]

Can you have both psoriatic arthritis and rheumatoid arthritis?

[@darceljordan6134]

I have just about all of these types all over my body from my head to my feet! Is there a name for that!!!

[@KatherineRoseArt]

It's called "life sux". Pretty much same here.

[@katomartin6747]

Can i have psa with no skin problems? i have dactylitis my fingers are starting to ache my hips and my ankles

[@SBS_Auto]

My knees hurt all the time, and my scalp and legs are always covered

[@rumblefish9]

Erythrodermic psoriasis can be fatal. In rare cases, people can go into shock from erythrodermic psoriasis.

[@JohnDoe-rs2pn]

I was just diagnosed with PSA and I only have the changes in my hands with the nodules. But I'm negative on every test and don't and haven't had a rash ever

[@nofear2792]

Your wrong about the pimple like things being on the feet and hands well at least my case they are everywhere on me but those areas and if u scratch they open. Mine look like they are forming in the spots where the hair grows that is missing

[@mrod9277]

[@latoyahcarson9000]

I’m 14 and have psoriasis on my hands and I lose movement in my had idk if it’s to do with this?

[@Biffo316]

Is there any swelling and/or bruising on your hands or fingers? If so go to your doctor and he'll probably do blood tests and give you anti inflammatorys and maybe steroids depending on the severity.

[@Biffo316]

And is it just your hands you have psoriasis?

[@AsianZing2397]
