Case 2. The cause of this swollen toe is psoriasis! What you think of as only a skin disease is really an autoimmune process that involves several types of tissue. One of the things it affects is the special connective tissue that connects tendons to bones, especially in the fingers or toes. (You can impress your doctor friends by knowing it is an enthesiopathy) Psoriasis also causes one of the worst types of arthritis you can have. I recently read a fantastic thriller by author Greg Illes called 48 hours about a kidnapping. The father of the kidnapped girl is a pathologist with psoriatic arthritis. I highly recommend this book if you are into mystery thriller with a touch of science..
