We are excited to share our newly revised and updated 'What is Psoriatic Arthritis?' leaflet, designed to help you understand psoriatic arthritis in detail. If you have psoriasis, it’s important to know that psoriatic arthritis can affect your joints, causing pain, swelling, and stiffness—often in unique ways that set it apart from other forms of arthritis.
Reviewed by consultant rheumatologist Dr. William Tillett and rheumatology SpR Dr. James Kimpton, from the Royal National Hospital for Rheumatic Diseases, Bath.
This leaflet offers clear, easy-to-understand information about psoriatic arthritis, from its symptoms and causes to the various treatments available. It covers everything you need to know, including the crucial role of early diagnosis in preventing joint damage.
We also highlight how nail changes can signal the condition and how tools like the Psoriasis Epidemiology Screening Tool (PEST) can help you spot the signs early.
Psoriatic arthritis may be challenging, but it’s important to remember that with the right knowledge and support, you can take control of your health. This leaflet empowers you to better understand the condition and find the best treatment options tailored to your needs.
