Ilumetri for psoriatic arthritis Fred's journey

[Caroline]

It's not a swelling from the Achilles tendon and not the ankle as such.

No they done scans, x-rays and echograph and three different doctors confirmed it was fluid.

yes, it should be a fluid.
According to my doc, it is so that if they take a bit of that fluid out, and put it under the microscope, then they will see pyrovate Crystals, who are a sure proof that you have Psoriatic Arthritis.

I don't need proof .............................. I know. 

Why then the scans, x-rays and echograph?

For the people who are not so knowledged, even for a lot of doctors, it might be a very good procedure to have proof of Psoriatic Arthritis and to be sure it is not Rheumatic Arthritis, as otherwise the treatment might be wrong.
