Prescribed Acitretin which has worked greately with my Psoriasis. Been on this medication for a few years now, at 40mgs currently. Over the past year or so I’ve suffered hip and back stiffness with sciatica down my right side. Related to medication or psoriatic arthritis???

Hi I went on a sugar I mean all types of sugar and a dairy free diet and in a few weeks I was completely cleared up. I have been on a gluten free diet for years so its not a big deal for me. and I have never eaten read meat. Try this it has worked for me. Good luck all.

I’ve been diagnosed with osteoarthritis last year and wonder if it is related to Acitretin? Awaiting a hip replacement at 48 years old!

It sounds like psoriatic arthritis but you should ask your doctor
