Hi,
I was wondering about how many hours people can work , while having PsA. I was wondering about this because I am kind of in the middle of searching appropriate jobs as well. I used to work around 36 hours a week on the computer. But due to my PsA in the ellbow i couldnt do that anymore. When I work on the pc my arm starts to hurt after some time still.
And im wondering about people here, could you work less hours because of your psa? Did you had to switch jobs maybe?
Like the rheum told me, I treat people working in construction who have psoriatic arthritis and some people I know with PsA run marathons.
But she also told me that, when you have PsA you are probably more sensitive on your tendons as well so you''ll be quicker to get an overload. Which kind of contradicts her statement about marathons and construction labor right?
It found that kind of confusing.
Or should this all be possible when you are on the right meds?
It seems to me that id better search for a job with a lot of variety, in standing walking sitting and may be an adapted workspace?
I wonder how you people do this, or had to make changes or anything.
Greetings
