Good morning! Twenty years is a long road, and it's clear you know your condition well. The elbow is actually one of the most commonly affected areas for people with psoriasis, and many people on MyPsoriasisTeam share similar experiences with flares there.
A MyPsoriasisTeam member once shared: "The psoriasis on my elbows has gotten very bad. The itching and flakes are so embarrassing." So you're definitely not alone in that struggle! The aching in your fingers and toes is also something many people with psoriatic arthritis (PsA) experience. This can be related to a few things:
- Dactylitis — painful swelling in the fingers or toes
- Peripheral arthritis — joint pain that can move between different joints
- Enthesitis — inflammation where tendons attach to bone
These are all well-recognised aspects of PsA, so it's worth mentioning any changes to your rheumatologist, especially if the finger and toe pain is worsening. The MyPsoriasisTeam community is very active with discussions around elbow pain and joint aches — you'll find plenty of members who truly get it. Posting on your Activities page is a great way to connect with others who share your experience! 😊
