I am looking for a correlation between my internal pain from PSA and my plaque psoriasis.
That’s difficult right now, since my PSA is in so many locations within my body. I am hopeful that Taltz will continue to work its magic on my PSA since Taltz cleared all but one spot on my skin.

That's what I heard too, maybe even worse when it comes back!

Jeanene,
After Taltz, the psoriasis cleared up everywhere except my ears. And my ears started oozing from inside then scaling, making the psoriasis hard to get rid of. I still have on and in my ears with inside oozing, which is strange to me.
The only true flare up is under my knee. I notice that I have a lot more inflammation there. Light hand massaging seems to help remove the soreness I am feeling. I finally decided to use cortisone cream to help it go away. I hope it goes away soon. It's been present under my knee for at least a month now.
