Hi Landscrape and a big welcome to the club, here you will be with fellow sufferers many still looking for a treatment and some of us that have found what works for us.
If it's on knees and elbows and it bothers you go to your GP who can give you some topical treatments, look here to see the differences Dovobet And Dovonex (What's the difference ?)

Read of other members experiences in the introductions section.
You ask what age psoriatic arthritis can strike, I think I'm right in saying it like psoriasis can hit you at any age,

When you see your doctor ask to be referred to a dermatologist who might think you should be on one of the oral treatments like methotrexate, but it will depend on the severity of your psoriasis..

As you know there is no cure,  but it should be possible to control it effectively when you find the right treatment
