Pro golfer Phil Mickelson recently announced that he is being treated

for psoriatic arthritis. According to media reports, he first

developed symptoms right before the U.S. Open, and the pain quickly

became so intense that he couldn’t walk.

To find out more about psoriatic arthritis and how it could have

affected Mickelson's game, WebMD spoke with rheumatologist A.

Paget, MD, of the Inflammatory Arthritis Center at Hospital for

Special Surgery in New York City and his colleague Halpern, MD,

a sports medicine doctor. Neither of the doctors has treated

Mickelson.
