You are welcome Kat, I'm surprised I never thought of it before. It makes sense to have a thread dealing with just psoriatic arthritis, so yes hopefuly others will chip in with their experiences or questions.
Your case does sound difficult, but the following to me would point to psoriatic arthritis.
#1 What you describe about your ankles sounds very familiar.
#2 Ridges in the nails is a classic sign.
#3 Shoulder and neck is one where I used to get it.
#4 The swelling of the hands ..................... are you sure it's not around the joints as that is where I would expect it rather than the fleshy part of the hands.
*As you know I'm not a doctor and these are just my own opinions of living with psoriatic arthritis for many years.
Hopefully this thread will help you and others, good suggestion.
