Feet and Legs swelling

I have been having trouble with my Feet and Legs swelling, anyone else having this issue, newly Diagnosed still working out the symptoms.

  1. , So sorry you are going through this. I never had much swelling. Have you had a chance to talk to your doctor about this? I have had psoriatic disease for over 60 years and there are so many symptoms that come with this disease. Are you on any type of treatment plan? We would like to hear more from you.

        1. Swelling went down over the weekend, then yesterday woke up with ankle swelled and hurting, can only put a little weight on it,. I must be having what you call a flare up it goes down some at night and comes back during the day,

          1. I'm glad to hear that your swelling went down over the weekend, but how frustrating that it's come back. It certainly could be a flare up that you're having.

            I know you've mentioned being newly diagnosed, is this a symptom you've been able to speak with your doctor about? You might also be interested in this article about leg/ankle pain with PsA from our advocate, Vickie, https://psoriatic-arthritis.com/living/ankle-swelling-leg-pain.
