Hi, I'm in new to psoriaitc arthritis, my gp suspects I have the early stages of it and I'm likely to be referred to rheumatology. I just need more information about treatment, progression, diagnosis methods, people's lived experiences? I feel young to be looking at a diagnosis of arthritis, I can't take NSAIDs either, how to people manage pain? Especially hands and feet

I take a biologic (cosentyx) and Otezla (pill) no real testing for PSA its usually a process of elimination and x-rays thats why its best to seek out a Rheumy that understands Psoriatic Arthritis and Psoriasis.
