Melody,
I can only comment on the relationship between psoriasis and psoriatic Arthritis.

Both of my husband's adult daughter and adult son had psoriasis for several years. About 5 or 6 years ago her fingers started swelling; especially her "little finger"was almost always in a permanent painful swelling . She went to a specialist dealing with Arthritis. He put her on a daily dose of Celebrex. She has been on it for the past 5 years. It has been helping her and she was able to get back to playing tennis. I don't remember what his son is taking for his psoriatic arthritis. Evidently there is definitely a relationship between the two.
