You're very welcome. I truly hope this brings her some relief; it’s honestly heartbreaking to watch her struggle through that pain and limp around like that.
Just so you know, I actually had these turmeric capsules custom-ordered through my doctor, though you could certainly whip up a homemade version yourself if you wanted to.
The physician who formulated them emphasized how vital it is to incorporate anti-inflammatory oils into your regimen to help tackle the underlying inflammation that seems to shadow every case of arthritis. It also seems to go a long way in calming down psoriasis flare-ups.

My grandmother is also battling psoriatic arthritis, though her case was triggered by post-operative shock. It all started with a bout of pustular psoriasis that manifested exclusively as blisters on her hands and the soles of her feet. The onset was so sudden and aggressive that her doctors initially mistook it for dyshidrosis. Since there’s no history of psoriasis in our family (as far as we know), nobody suspected the true cause until she underwent a skin biopsy. Following that, the joint issues hit hard. The pain became so debilitating that even a quick trip to the corner store or using the restroom felt impossible; poor thing, she wouldn't even ask for help, she would just try to crawl through the pain herself. She eventually had a bone scan which showed "radioactive uptake" around her ankles. She was prescribed Salazopyrin by her specialist, who is wonderful, but the side effects are brutal and she struggles to tolerate it. Because of that, I’ve started getting her turmeric oil capsules along with anti-inflammatory oils like black currant and hemp to take twice a day. I’m really hoping this provides some relief. These "mainstream" medications can be incredibly harsh and loaded with side effects. If the turmeric helps her turn a corner, I’ll definitely post an update here.
