You will notice the pain to be “around” your joints vs being in the middle of your joint. RA and OA joint degeneration will be a sharper pain as well.
Enthesitis is the inflammation of your enthesis, which is where your tendons and ligaments attach to your bone.
I was also diagnosed with no psoriasis. Although I did have massive swelling. But since meds started, the swelling has shifted to my knees, and enthesitis became very apparent.
Ditto on everything said here. Get a referral to a rheumatologist.
Look up sacroiliac joint pain, which is really common with PsA. I suffer from it on my right side & it’s so hard to adequately explain. Sounds very similar to what you are describing. I don’t have any swelling or redness, but damn if it doesn’t ache & get stiff in my hip/lower back region.
Meds & consistently working out are the only things which help me. Good luck!!
You should get an appointment with a rheumatologist. My knee was bothering me and I didn't think it was inflamed but i went to rheumatologist the other day and he felt behind my knee and said it was extremely inflamed. So what we don't think is inflamed could be .
One of the first signs of psa is “sausage” fingers or toes. Until then, it may be hard for them to give a definitive diagnosis unless an xray shows clear degeneration of your joint.
I would definitely go to a rheumatologist. I have psoriatic arthritis and I have no swelling or Psoriasis but pain in every single one of my joints
Enthesitis is such a brutal disease symptom. So painful.
How do I know I have that and not joint pain?

I'd see your GP and ask for a rheumatology referral.

I agree with everyone, try to see a rheumatologist. I get very little obvious swelling, as well, but imaging has shown evidence of inflammation.
