It's completely understandable to question a diagnosis, especially when the symptoms don't feel like they fit neatly into one box. The good news is that your instincts aren't off base — PsA is actually known for affecting more than just bones and joints.

PsA commonly involves:
- Enthesitis — inflammation where tendons and ligaments attach to bone
- Dactylitis — swelling in fingers and toes
- Tendon tenderness — pain in soft tissue around joints
- Migrating pain — symptoms that move between different joints over time

This "moving around" pattern you've noticed is very characteristic of PsA, not just bone damage showing up on scans. It's also worth knowing that normal blood results don't rule out PsA — many people with PsA have no abnormal markers in their bloods.

The fact that your skin patches have stabilised after years of progression, and that you're feeling better overall, could suggest your condition is entering a calmer phase, which does happen with psoriasis.

The most important step is to keep having open conversations with your rheumatologist about the migrating joint pain pattern. If you feel unheard, asking for a second opinion is always a reasonable and valid option.
