Re-Flare? Flaring in a joint that has already taken a beating?
I may be experiencing a flare in my dominant wrist/elbow for the second time because of a sunburn. It's so disheartening when an idea like a joint (not your main affected joint) can't flare more than once is broken. Has anyone else experienced a flare from something so frivolous as a sunburn?
Hi
I can't answer the question about the sunburn. I do find it interesting about the statement that a joint can't flare more than once. May I ask who or where did you hear that from? Psoriatic Arthritis can cause any joint to flare at any time multiple times. Vickie W., Team Member Hi, it's more a comment on the mental aspect of all of this. There's always been a kind of preconceived idea in my head that once a joint has flared, it's done. I was wondering if anyone else had dealt with that or other preconceived ideas.
I tried to go into our stories and see if anyone had written an article about it. I can't seem to find anything. If you would like to search you can go to http://psoriatic-arthritis.com/stories. Sorry I can't be of more help. Vickie W., Team Member 
your joints can and do flare many times. This flaring does the most damage to our joints while the constant, low-grade inflammation cause degeneration over longer periods.
I hope this helps. 💖
