Mickelson announced on Tuesday that he is being treated for a form of arthritis. This announcement was made during the PGA championship. Prior to this announcement Phil Mickelson felt pain to his feet, his back and lower body. Despite the pain he managed to play at Pebble Beach and tied for fourth.
Unfortunately his condition got progressively worse which resulted in him being fully diagnosed with psoriatic arthritis which causes the joints to become inflamed resulting in burning, pain and stiffness. Recently Michelson began taking weekly shots of Enbril which left him feeling well enough to practice last week.
According to Michelson, he said he did “not want to make excuses and that is why he kept his condition quiet; He also stated that he did not want to discuss the condition until he knew what the outcome would be. “ I am very confident that this condition of psoriatic arthritis will not affect my career or life.”
Luckily for sports fans, Hollywood Collectibles carries a variety of Phil Michelson memorabilia.
