It usually occurs in people who have psoriasis. If someone does have psoriasis that does not mean that they will develop PA. The joint pain that is caused by PA is usually associated with pain and swelling especially in the knees, ankles, fingers and toes. They might also have neck or back pain and stiffness and this can limit their mobility. PA affects both men and women and the age of onset is between 30 and 55.    You can find more information about PsoriaticArthritis by clicking the link below: http://www.rheumatology.org/public/factsheets/psoriatic_new.asp?aud=pat **PLEASE NOTE: THESE DISEASES ARE DEFINED FOR THE MERE UNDERSTANDING FOR THE PATIENTS.
