Hi. Well i have today been diagnosed with psorathic arthritis. I currently manage my occassional flare ups (twice monthly) with indometacin which are amazing. But wanted more info on this condition and its possible progression as kind of in the dark. Many thanks.

    i suffuered from this disease for 35 years used indocin for many years changed to celebrex and now changed to otezla and metho. I have always gotten relief from the inflamation with the earlier drugs but in time i still have foot hand and knees deformities! Good luck and if you have long term swelling in any one place maybe try a stronger med to avert damage to that joint!
