Joint inflammation that is associated with #psoriasis. Psoriatic arthritis is a potentially destructive and deforming form of #arthritis that affects approximately 10 percent of persons with psoriasis.
Psoriatic arthritis is a form of arthritis that affects some people who have psoriasis — a condition that features red patches of skin topped with silvery scales. Most people develop psoriasis first and are later diagnosed with psoriatic arthritis, but the #joint problems can sometimes begin before skin lesions appear.
Joint pain, #stiffness and swelling are the main symptoms of psoriatic arthritis. They can affect any part of your body, including your fingertips and #spine, and can range from relatively mild to severe. In both psoriasis and psoriatic arthritis, disease flares may alternate with periods of remission.
No cure for psoriatic arthritis exists, so the focus is on controlling symptoms and preventing damage to your joints. Without treatment,psoriatic arthritis may be disabling.
