A member asked:

I am a thirteen year old female with psoriatic arthritis, fibromyalgia, and recently been told that i have costochondritis. is this all one disorder?

No: The psoriatic arthritis and fibromyalgia are separate issues. Costochondral joint tenderness, however, is often a component of fibromyalgia.
