Hi,
Sorry to hear about your condition but from the report that you have given I can briefly I say its a case of Psoriatic arthritis. In this condition there is Psoriasis of skin, multiple joint pain especially the fingers and toes and restlessness. The treatment is mainly related to the symptoms that show up. For this you need to visit a Rheumatologist. However I would suggest you to talk to him about a new line of treatment called biologics that has stood helpful in treating such genetic conditions.
Hope I have answered your query. Let me know if I can assist you further.
Regards, Dr. Jenis Bhalavat
