Psoriatic arthritis enthesitis

Has anyone had sudden pain in ankle so bad you can't walk not long diagnosed with this in my feet


  1. I am so sorry you are dealing with this pain in your ankles! Have you been able to discuss this with your doctor? I hope others chime in with their experience but I wanted to share this article with you from our site and hope you know you are not alone. https://psoriatic-arthritis.com/living/ankle-swelling-leg-pain. Wishing you the relief you deserve! Warmly, Erin (team member)

  2. Yes!! Horribly and usually it’s BOTH ankles - nonstop throbbing…I wish you well!!

  3. Me also. I carry a walking stick most of the time which helps keep the weight off it. Still hurts though - even in bed.

    1. mobility aids can be such a lifeline when managing PsA, especially for those with foot and/or ankle pain! I’m so glad to hear the walking stick helps, although I wish it didn’t always hurt. Are you on any treatment for your PsA currently? — Warmly, Christine (Team Member)

  4. I have just started on cosentyx. I had been on cimzia for quite a while and it had been the best to date but was losing its effectiveness so I decided to jump and try something new. Time will tell if this was wise.
