Psoriatic Arthritis Symptoms

[Kat]

Yes I would describe my psa as featuring shooting pain.
I’ve had a long-standing Achilles tendon problem and I’ve recently developed a similar pain in my right hip and left knee. The knee hurts when I climb stairs.

The pains usually are worst when I’ve been sitting or lying down and go after hobbling about a while.
They feel sharp or burning and feel like tendons are something are too tight. I often have a feeling like I’ve already snapped something in my ankle but have to carry on walking on it. Luckily it does go after walking a minute or so but can come back on a long walk.

The shooting type pains come when I’m resting and something is particularly aggravated and inflamed. Last night I keep getting a random shooting pain in the sole of my foot. It can be hard to disguise when you’re just sitting there talking to someone and suddenly it’s like someone has stuck a knife in! It comes in waves and can often be helped by wriggling my foot.

Interesting. I didn't have a bad day, actually I thought ok, it's all better until after dinner and then it just reminded me nope, still going to be a pain.

I thought perhaps it was only after sitting for awhile, but started paying attention to when it would happen and realized it was random. I could be walking for a bit and have it start hurting out of nowhere. Although some of the worse of it has been after sitting for awhile, it's not every time.
