Symmetric Psoriatic Arthritis
What is Symmetric Psoriatic Arthritis?
Symmetric Psoriatic Arthritis accounts for approximately 25% of the total occurrences of psoriatic arthritis. Symmetric Psoriatic Arthritis affects joints on both sides of the body simultaneously. Symmetric Psoriatic Arthritis is the sub-type most similar to rheumatoid arthritis.
Individuals with Symmetric Psoriatic Arthritis may experience episodes of periodic joint pain, which is usually responsive to medical therapy. This form of psoriatic arthritis is generally mild, although about half of those with Symmetric Psoriatic Arthritis may be prone to developing more disabling symptoms of the condition.
Symptoms of Symmetric Psoriatic Arthritis
Common symptoms of symmetric psoriatic arthritis include pain, swelling, or stiffness in one or more joints. The joints may appear red and/or warm to the touch. Long periods of inflammation or swelling can lead to damage to the joints therefore it is advisable to seek early diagnosis and treatment to slow or prevent damage. Pain and swelling in the feet or ankles may result in tendonitis in the area of the achilles tendon or cause swelling and pain in the heal area of the foot. Swelling in the fingers or toes can create a puffed up swollen appearance. Symmetric Psoriatic Arthritis often results in changes to the nail including pitting or separation of the nail from the nail bed. In some cases one may also experience back aches in the lower back.
Symmetric Psoriatic Arthritis may remain mild, or may progress to a more destructive/disabling form of arthritis. Periods in which the arthritic condition flares, will generally alternate with periods of remission.

Treatment of Symmetric Psoriatic Arthritis
Treatment of Symmetric Psoriatic Arthritis is a two-part process involving the treatment of the psoriasis portion of the condition and the treatment of the arthritis itself. The arthritis portion of the condition may be addressed with non-steroidal anti-inflammatory medications such as naproxen or ibuprofen , or disease-modifying anti-rheumatic drugs also known as DMARDs, or with the use of medications that can suppress the immune system to help reduce or relieve inflammation and swelling and thus slow the progression of the arthritis.
The second part of this treatment process involves addressing the symptoms of psoriasis. One method of achieving this without causing a drug interference with the treatment of the arthritic portion of treatment would be a topical such as Psoriasis-Ltd. Psoriasis-Ltd is comprised of a soothing blend of beneficial minerals specially formulated to work synergistically to improve the appearance of psoriasis and psoriasis related conditions. This blend of minerals enhances the body's ability to restore the balance to the skin so needed to begin the healing process.
