How To Confirm Psoriatic Arthritis?
I am 47 years old and have psoriatic arthritis within the last week or so my rib area is tender do think it is the arthritis or something else. I don't have a cough and able to walk over a mile or so with no problem. My hip is involved so walking too long will aggrevate it i ride my bike when the weather is warmer.
Thank you
