Tracey from Canada asks: If I have psoriatic arthritis, can I work as a gas bar attendant?
The treatment goal for any inflammatory arthritis is to reach remission. Those in remission should be able to participate in all their normal activities, including work. Before reaching remission, patients should listen to their bodies. If it hurts when you are doing something, it is important not to ignore that. However, that line of what is too much is going to be different for everyone. The important thing to know is that being active is not going to make the underlying disease worse. In fact, exercise in moderation is considered a positive step for those with inflammatory arthritis.
