Suggest Solution For Pain In Feet And Swelling In Finger Due To Psoriasis
Hi, I have been suffering from Psoriasis for the past 15 years- most acute on my legs- though seasonal. Recently, about a week ago, my middle finger has swollen acutely and I have also been getting acute pain in my feet- specifically the bottom of my feet.
What is the best solution for me?

thanks for asking,
after a long time you have started involvement of joints called psoriatic arthritis, leading to painful swollen small joints.Treatment for psoriatic arthritis can relieve pain, reduce swelling, help keep joints working properly and possibly prevent further joint damage. I will recommend treatments based on the type of psoriatic arthritis.the treatment of arthritis in psoriatic arthritis involves a combination of anti-inflammatory medications (NSAIDs) and exercise. If progressive inflammation and joint destruction occur despite NSAIDs treatment, more potent medications such as methotrexate (Rheumatrex, Trexall), corticosteroids, and antimalarial medications (such as hydroxychloroquine, or Plaquenil) are used.
