Arthritis or psoriasis can be really disabling.
Usually, it's in the small joints. So if you-- even if you've never had a diagnosis of psoriasis and you start getting achiness in your small joints,
especially of your hands, you should talk to your internist and you should mention, do I have psoriatic arthritis?
And the way to make that diagnosis is really a simple x-ray of the hand. Some doctors might not consider it so don't forget to mention,
maybe I have psoriatic arthritis, especially if you have joint pain in your hands.
