Pustular psoriasis and psoriatic arthritis

Think I might have found some evidence to show the doctor to go with my joint pains. I googled 'pus filled blisters on sole of feet' and it came up with pustular psoriasis.

So if I have psoriasis then what I've been suffering from for 8 months cound be psoriatic arthritis?

Any comments would be appreciated, thankyou.

Quite possible. My DHs psoriatic arthritis was triggered by stress, first we saw the psoriasis then the joint pain started. Have a look at www.psoriasis-association.org.uk/arthritis.html which helped me and dh

Thanks redlac. How was his diagnosed? All my bloods are fine and x-rays too and don't really have swelling, although I think my right hand is slightly swollen in the morning. (And I have excema on the right hand and wrist ONLY.) And before I can wake up and get the camera it's gone.

I get stiffness and numbness in that hand too, along with pain in neck, spine, tail bone, right hip, right knee and more so in right big toe.

I just want a diagnosis. :-(
