Ayaan Bhatia is a 14-year-old, nationally ranked junior tennis player. Over the past year, he developed persistent pain and swelling in his right knee and several fingers. Initially dismissed as sports injuries, the symptoms worsened, and he noticed pitted, discolored fingernails. His game suffered as stiffness made serving painful and lateral movements nearly impossible. Frustrated and scared, he worried his athletic dreams were over. At the pediatric orthopedics clinic, Dr. Khan diagnosed him with Psoriatic Arthritis (PsA) after noting the joint inflammation, nail changes, and a small, scaly patch on his scalp Ayaan had ignored. The doctor recommended starting a targeted biologic medication (a TNF-alpha inhibitor) to suppress the overactive immune response, combined with a tailored physical therapy program to preserve joint function and strength. The treatment experience was daunting; the first injections made Ayaan anxious, and he hated missing school for infusions. However, within three months, the swelling subsided dramatically. His post-procedure recovery involved a gradual, monitored return to training. Today, his pain is minimal, and he's back on the court at 90% capacity, managing his condition with monthly injections. Emotionally, he journeyed from anger and despair, feeling his body had betrayed him, to immense relief and a new sense of resilience. He now sees himself not just as an athlete, but as a determined young man managing a chronic condition with grace.
