How long does it take for deformity and disability to occur with PsA?
Hi there,
I have pain in my spine, two toes, my right-hand wrist, and my left-hand finger. My blood test shows positive for CRP and ESR and I am waiting for an MRI result.
Likelihood of deformity and disability
I am sure that I have spinal psa. I've had psoriasis for 15 years and I am 21 now. I want to know how many years I can live like normal people without any deformation and disability?
I know its imposible that living 40 - 50 more years without any problem 😀 but I read on the internet that more than 90 percent of people get experience deformity after 10 years of living with PsA and the other 10 percent probabely 5 years more?

I am 48 years old and I wish I could show you a picture of my hands. I see it in my hands the most, my fingers are deformed somewhat. I do not really think there is a way to stop it only slow it down.
I have had PsA for 14 years. It affects my spine, both hands, right wrist, both elbows, rib cage, hips, knees, achille's tendons, plantar fascia, big toes and top of right foot. There is hope for you yet as despite this I have NO deformation anywhere!! And I'm not on PsA meds either!!
