Went to doctor about a lumps on my finger joints, he thought most likely osteoarthritis, still waiting for results of x-ray to confirm.

Has anyone else had a confirmed diagnosis of this? I’m only 50!

Mine started at 50 in 3 years I couldn't get rings on. It's now like a dislocation feeling that happens suddenly then goes. I can't bend them properly and they are weak I've had steroid injections for pain if that stops working it's knuckle replacement.
Bloods didn't show mine I had x-rays but inconclusive so scans. Mine is osteo and psoriatic I was offered Methotrexate just before COVID but said no

Voltarol gel works quite well on my arthritic hands, as well as being in the warmth!
