4Painful, Swollen Joints
Psoriatic arthritis is a painful and challenging disease, and when you have this disease, you will notice some changes in your joint.
The joints affected will depend on the type of psoriatic arthritis you have: asymmetric psoriatic arthritis will affect matching pairs of joints on both sides of your body. Symmetric psoriatic arthritis will only affect one to three joints in your body. Whether large or small; Distal Interphalangeal primarily affects the joints in the small toes and fingers closest to your nails.
No matter the type of psoriatic arthritis you are suffering from, the affected joints get swollen and painful. [5]
