It does sound like it could be psoriatic arthritis but your dermatologist should be able to diagnose it.
As you're going on Humira soon you may notice a change as Humira can help psoriatic arthritis.
If indeed it is psoriatic arthritis you have my sympathy at your young age, I first got diagnosed at 30. It was mild at first and progressively got worse with age and by the time I reached my 50s it was getting very bad up to the point of not being able to dress my self or cut up my own dinner.
However the Bio's got me sorted out and like I say Humira may keep it in check for you. Should it not work you can try Coesntyx , I've just gone on to it and it's the best thing I've ever had for psoriatic arthritis.
At least your getting it treated early which will help, some people only get mild symptoms and stay that way.
