What is the suggested treatment for psoriasis?
Patient: Hi my name is felicia, I have psoriasis, I ve had it since I was about 8 yrs old and I am 41 now this winter has been the worst year that I have ever had as far as new winter patches and lots of different parts of my body I ve never had it before. Also, this year my elbows and hands are particulary bad and my arms hurt, I have had surface pain associated with rawness and itching before but this is intense real pain inside. My elbows hurt so bad it brings me to tears sometimes, its hard to describe sort of throbbing and seems to vibrate down my arms, on both sides. My fingers hurt to but not as intense. Both arms are also going numb from right above my elbows to my tips of fingers to where my fingers will turn white and i have to massage blood back in there. Are these things all related is it because of my psoriasis or is there something else going on? Thank You for your time Sincerely, Felicia Bredl Doctor: Hi,  Consult a dermatologist and get evaluated.   You can try analgesics like Tramadol or Gabapentin for symptomatic relief.  Hope I have answered your query. Let me know if I can assist you further.
