Identifying Psoriatic Arthritis Symptoms Though
joint pain is the common symptom of Psoriatic
Arthritis, not all hip pains are due to Psoriatic
Arthritis (obviously). And even in Psoriatic
Arthritis cases, it is rarely the first symptom.
In most cases hip is affected only after other
smaller joints are affected. Swollen fingers and
toes, nail changes, Lower back pain, and eye
inflammation are some of the common symptoms of
Psoriatic Arthritis. Patients with psoriatic
arthritis often consult with pain around the
buttocks, outer thigh, groin unlike pain in the
front of thigh and groin in osteoarthritis
cases, says Dr Niraj Vora, top hip replacement
surgeon in Mumbai who is also an expert in hip
pain treatment in Mumbai. Stiffness and soreness
after you wake up. The pain tends to go away as
your move around. Walking with a limp or
difficulty climbing the stairs are other symptoms.
