I have psoriatic arthritis… I have a few of the “itis's.” I have found that humira has been a wonder medication for me in terms of both plaque psoriasis and psoriatic arthritis. Lately I have been dealing with tendon issues in my ankle. At first, like always, I thought I just hurt it, and I did, but the pain, stiffness, and slight swelling is still here 5 months later. I’m wondering if switching to stelara would be a good option? Although I do know that humira is most effective as a blanket for a lot of inflammatory diseases, and stelara is more aimed to deal with psoriatic arthritis and psoriasis, but it could be an option do discuss with your rheumatologist. I personally am not the boat with my meds. The humira takes care of 99% of my psoriasis, and 90% of my psoriatic arthritis. Just thought I’d add my two cents. Hope you find some relief. I know the pain of living with arthritis, and it’s beyond painful. Sending love

Do you think that is could be OA in that one ankle? I know that my OA ankle gets swollen.
it's always worth asking the rheumatology team about treatment - opinions change all the time about what is best. And to check out what's going on there.
