Shoulder pain

Can anyone please tell me what PsA in the shoulder and arm actually feels like?

I developed a sun burn sensation across the tops of feet and tops of hands and now this shoulder pain (horrible). I can’t lift my arm up or open anything. My hand is so weak. I have PsA in my lower body, attacks my tendons.

  1. Hi , thank you for your question. I can hear how painful this must be for you. While I hope members of our community will chime in with their personal experiences, I wanted to send over this article from one of our advocates that shares a similar story. I hope this helps you. Please keep us posted on how you are feeling.

    1. Ask you rheumatologist if it could be fibromyalgia. My shoulders an lower back are my primary spots for fibro pain.
