How are psoriatic arthritis and tendinitis connected?
Psoriatic arthritis (PsA) commonly causes a specific type of tendon inflammation called enthesitis. This happens when the tendons and ligaments become inflamed where they attach to your bones.
Enthesitis is actually one of the hallmark symptoms of PsA, affecting about 1 in 3 people with the condition. It's so common that rheumatologists often use its presence to help diagnose PsA and distinguish it from other types of arthritis.
Common areas affected include:
- Bottom of the feet (plantar fasciitis)
- Heels (Achilles tendinitis)
- Shoulders
- Elbows
- Hips
- Knees
The main symptoms are pain and stiffness in the affected areas, especially when you move. Unlike regular tendinitis from overuse or injury that can heal, enthesitis in PsA tends to be an ongoing problem due to chronic inflammation.
If you have psoriasis and start experiencing pain in these areas, it's important to talk with your doctor right away. Early diagnosis and treatment can help prevent worse joint damage and maintain your quality of life.
