Has anyone else had chest issues, like opacities in the lungs?
And later one was said to be getting a cavity. This was after a year of biologics...so I stopped the biologic was put on some antibiotic for about 3 months and they later disappeared. Has anyone here experienced chest issues with PsA?

Hi
thanks for asking this question. There is an article that was done on our site about chest pain. It has truly gotten a lot of responses on the Facebook page as well. The link to the story is: https://psoriatic-arthritis.com/answers/chest-pain-costochondritis-tietze-syndrome/ 
I was having chest pain and after x-ray I was told I have Pulmonary Sarcoidosis. Apparently if you have Psoriasis and or Psoriatic Arthritis it's most likely you will develop Pulmonary Sarcoidosis. I currently have 2 small masses on my right lung.
I was diagnosed with pulmonary sarcoidosis 30 years ago. I have nodules come and go...I now have at least 10 small ones in left lung and a few in right lung.
I had a lot of trouble with breathlessness with least exertion...xrays, scans etc..showed my right diaphragm has paralyzed with lung partially collasped.
Drs. could not give me an explanation as to why is paralyzed! I go next week for repeat of tests and labs. My carbon dioxide levels keep rising. I see an excellent pulmonologist at Baylor Scott and White...he did say this occurence is very rare.
Anyone else dealing with this.
Rheumatologist says I definitely have PSA and an erosive arthritis. I stay in extreme pain from head to toes...no exaggeration! Trying to get on Humira but need covid vacs first.
