, 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.

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.
Sending you gentle hugs. -- Warmly, Christine (Team Member)
