Patients with psoriatic arthritis usually have a positive history of joint pain and stiffness involving both peripheral and axial joints. Common symptoms include joint pain, swelling, morning stiffness, decreased range of motion, fatigue, dactylitis due to inflammation and swelling of the entire digit, enthesopathy, skin lesions, and dystrophic nails.

- Pain and stiffness of involved joints
- Peripheral arthritis
- Axial arthritis including spondylitis and sacroiliitis
- Morning stiffness lasting more than 30 mins may be found in some patients with psoriatic arthritis.
