Question
diegogarcia67
Hello, I have Psoriasis and have a 60% disability rating for this. I recently filed a secondary claim for Psoriatic Arthritis. The problem is I am not always in lot of pain because I am taking Enbrel. I notice when I run out of the drug my joints hurt so bad that I can't hardly walk, but as long as I am taking Enbrel, I still feel the pain but it is tolerable. My question is Enbrel is a drug that controls Psoriatic Arthritis. Will the C&P examiner take this into consideration? Also, I heard x-rays doesn't always show that someone has this type of arthritis. Has anybody experienced this situation?
