Hello and welcome! There is a lot information on this that will be helpful with psoriasis and PsA. I read that you are having trouble with scalp psoriasis. Talk to your doctor about adding T-Gel Shampoo.
Methetrexate (MTX) isn't the world's best choice for PsA. It may bring system relief to hands and feet, but does not prevent or slow down joint destruction. Also, it doesn't help back issues. There are other drugs such as biologics that are more successful at treating PsA, but they are very expensive.
I find that walking and keeping reasonable active helps with joint pain. I also use hot and cold packs (heating pad and ice packs) for my back.
Well anyway, good luck and enjoy the information on this site.
