Psoriatic arthritis article posted by on July 25, 2011

Evidence from one study indicated that psoriatic arthritis is more frequent in patients with severe psoriasis than in those with milder cases. Since there is no individual, definitive test that can help to diagnose psoriatic arthritis, the insight and expertise of the attending physician is most critical. Good diet and exercise can help beat a case of psoriatic arthritis. Joint pain, swelling and joints warm to the touch are the most common symptoms associated with psoriatic arthritis. All of these conditions can cause inflammation in the spine and other joints, and the eyes, skin, mouth, and various organs. A person with psoriasis generally has patches of raised red skin with scales.
