Suggest Treatment For Psoriatic Arthritis

I have psoriatic arthrits and have been having severe hip pain. I had x-rays done but they would not tell me anything yet. I have a copy of the x-rays. If i were to loom at them what kind of sign would i see if the psoriatic arthritis has decided to make a home in my hips too? I am curious.

hi,
if yu are having pain in the hips, most likely the disease is affecting your hips.
xrays may be completely normal until severe damage has occured in the hips.
if you need a diagnosis, probably an mri of the hips will need to be performed
