I was diagnosed with psoriatic arthritis at about age 49. So far I have had a spinal fusion, left ankle replacement (traumatic arthritis-broken at age 19) and planned knee replacement next month. I occassionally have an outbreak of skin psoriasis in one spot; back of thigh, elbow or knee.
Degenerative disc disease in my back which I attribute to heredity.
I have been taking celebrex for approximately 11 years. Not sure it is really working as well anymore. What are other solutions to the pain. Back is worse since my knee issues; can't walk as much. Sedentary lifestyld is wreaking havoc with the pain.View Thread
