Pain foot spurts: not always. It depends on how much discomfort it is giving you. Sometimes ortho orthotics gives good relief . You should see an orthopedic doctor or a podiatrist. Also should be on anti inflammatory meds if you are not allergic

Foot pain : not really . See a podiatrist first . Perhaps a steroid injection and a trial of foot pads and good shoes may help your pain . Also as your psoriasis improves , your Arthritis will also improved . See a dermatologist to start on disease modifying agents . There are some drugs in pill form now .
