Psoriotic artheristis
I was diagnosed with psoriatic arthritis. I have been using pain killers for 1 month now as the doctor suggested that the swelling and pains should go by now. But I still got both. I take medicine regularly and also changed my diet routine. Right now I use medicine for diabetes as well as arthritis. I want to know which scan I should take to check the inflammation areas inside my body. Every joint in my body seems to be stressing if I am not using pain killers. Please suggest me a scan that will show detailed information of arthritis severity in my body so that I can take the report to a specialist and get proper advice. Thank you.
