Understanding psoriatic arthritis and its outlook
Dear reader explains psoriatic arthritis affects about seven of every hundred psoriasis patients with joint inflammation. It can target one or many joints, often spine or fingers, causing back pain and sausage-like swelling. Treatments include anti-inflammatory drugs like indomethacin and naproxen, with stronger drugs such as methotrexate or sulfasalazine if needed. Therapy and patient education are key, and the condition does not shorten life. National Psoriasis Foundation provides information at 800 723 9166.
