Hello,

Low back pain in psoriatic arthritis have different origin. This pain is mostly due to increase in inflammation.

In your case two factors are playing role one is your disease & other is your inactivity with your age.In my opinion if you are facing severe problem with low back pain then you may ask from your doctor about intermittent course of low dose steroid.

This is very helpful in such cases.Your doctor is the sole person to decide its pros and cons in your age.You should continue or start calcium & vitamin D therapy.

Hope I have answered your query. Let me know if I can assist you further.

Take care

Regards,
