Are you noticing joint pain, swelling, or nail changes? These could be early warning signs of Psoriatic Arthritis (PsA)—a chronic autoimmune disease that affects both joints and skin.

In this video, we’ll cover the most common symptoms of psoriatic arthritis, including joint pain patterns, swollen joints, pitting nails, and the connection between psoriasis and arthritis. Early recognition is key to managing inflammation and preventing joint damage.

We’ll also explore often-overlooked signs like dactylitis (sausage fingers), tendonitis, enthesitis, and uveitis, which can affect tendons, ligaments, and even the eyes. Understanding these symptoms can help you take action sooner and seek appropriate care.

Plus, we’ll explain which lab tests for psoriatic arthritis are most useful, and what abnormal results to watch out for when discussing diagnosis with your doctor.

Whether you’re managing psoriasis, dealing with chronic joint pain, or just trying to learn more about autoimmune conditions, this video is packed with helpful information.
