So what exactly is psoriatic arthritis?

It's an inflammatory arthritis that can develop in people with psoriasis, when the immune system starts attacking healthy joints as well as skin. Watch for joint pain and morning stiffness, swollen fingers or toes, nail changes, and fatigue that won't quit.

Caught early, PsA is very treatable - and treatment protects your joints for the years ahead. Questions? We're here. ๐Ÿงก
