I have plenty of horror stories, surgeries, and such: rib breaking off, and puncturing lung and heart. My rib plate just broke for the 3rd time and has to be fixed. I have psoriatic in my hands and feet, my feet were not that bad 3 years ago, now they break out by the hundreds. Some are big as pencil erasers when I soak my feet.

Doctors do not understand psoriatic arthritis

I was told 3 years ago it's not psoriatic by three doctors. Well, I'm going to give them a good look this time. My scalp breaks out my hands and feet. I read some of the stories and I understand. Why is it so hard for doctors to get it?

Do you have a story about living with psoriatic arthritis to share too?
