Psoritic arthritis???@!
Hello,
I have not been on this group before but have had many symptoms for a number of years. I have been tested a few times for lupus and rheumatoid arthritis. These all came back negative.
I was referred to a rheumatologist again recently and due to my family history and medical history he suspects psoritic arthritis. Blood tests didn't show anything and no inflammation showed up on MRI bone scan.
Rheumatologist still thinks it's psoritic arthritis and suggests intra muscular steroid injection to help find out if it is psoritic arthritis.
