I developed psoriasis at age 48. Now at 51 yrs old I’m have foot pain and knee and wrist pain like I’ve broken them! It goes away within a week or so but reoccurring every few months. Does this sound like psoriatic arthritis to you? I’m going to see my MD soon it’s just hard to pay for those visits.

Yes! I bet you’ll hear lots of stories of people who thought they had broken feet or wrists. I wore a foot cast for six weeks for no reason when the doctor couldn’t find anything wrong and assumed it must be an invisible hairline fracture. It’s important to get treated as soon as possible and get the arthritis under control before there is irreparable damage. Good luck!

girl im 23 and had symptoms starting when i was 18!!!!!! but they have only gotten worse. i cant afford anything but prioritizing psorasis is something i learned the hard way. constantly underestimating the pain psorasis brings is the worst mistake i made (and im the kind of person prone to making terrible mistakes AHAHA). my gastro doc has psorasis and is ab to get a knee replacement bc of it and told me to get on it ASAP bc psorasis can get that bad :’(
