Psoriasis

I've had psoriasis on my scalp for almost a year and has now spread to spots on my scalp randomly. I've also gotten little patches on my body the size of a 10p coin which are getting larger. I'm also starting to get really bad joint pain in my hips, feet, arm and legs.

The pain first started in my finger which I couldn't bend then spread to my feet. I can't bend my big toe on one foot and on the other I have plantar fasciitis. But recently within the last month I can't bend my thumbs either now and it's really painful to sit down for a minute and then get back up. I'm essentially hobbling everywhere. I was given a months worth of naproxen but after a week they stopped working.

Does anyone know what I should do or had a similar experience?

I'm really worried as I'm only 19 and it's really impacting my life.

I think you should go back and see your doctor.
