Worrying for a while now, please help. Arthritis fears

I'm starting to get concerned about the possibility of psoriatic arthritis. I was diagnosed and have lived with psoriasis since I can remember, it's mild only affecting around my eyes and ears. I am now 22 and have been noticing similar symptoms happening, not sure whether it's my extreme with me having a chance of having the condition. I often have a sore shoulder, usually the shoulder that I have my bag on is worse. A few weeks ago I went on a height course which required climbing and pulling myself on a rope, the next day I had muscle soreness around my chest area. I wasn't concerned due to the nature of the activity and the pain went after a few days, which I believed was normal. However what concerned me was at that time I also had pain in the ball of my left foot, it was painful to work on. This also lasted a number of days then went. Last night I spent many hours sitting on the floor moving from kneeling to lying down to having my legs crossed and back hunched. I was designing a piece of art and worked on it from about 5 in the afternoon till past 11pm. This morning I have woken with sore buttocks, particularly painful when sitting up and down. I feel that maybe I am allowing my fear of having arthritis cloud my judgement, but also I feel it's odd displaying almost every early symptom besides hand and feet swelling, I also do not have problems with my fingers or toes and no discolouration of the nails.
