The article mentions that one of the symptoms is sometimes psoriasis, in addition to other common psoriatic arthritis symptoms such as heel pain and IBD etc. Wouldn't the correct diagnosis then be Psoriatic Spondylitis?

Stay strong warrior 💪 💙 ❤️

Right now I have been taking Talz, but now they are changing my meds to cosentex because you can only take Talz for a year. I haven’t had as much rib pain like I was. This disease moves around and… read more
