I’ve been dx psa for over 3 years but lately it’s been impacting my SI and facet joints more. I’ve brought it up to my rheumatologist and he brushes it off as “part of your disease”. Is he right?

I’ve been diagnosed with psoriatic arthritis for 3 years.

All of my symptoms were consistent with rheumatoid arthritis but my rheumatologist told me because I had psoriasis as a child, my dx was PA and not RA.

I’m on methotrexate and Cosentyx and my inflammation and pain were managed well.

I’m now having more pain in my joints, my hands are swollen and painful and I have psoriasis patches on my elbows and legs that I didn’t have before.

Do I have to see a rheumatologist or a dermatologist to deal with the psoriasis?
