Can anybody talk to me about unreasonably painful fingers?

[IAmTheOneAndOnlyTooT]

Swollen, painful joints, 2 fingers warping inwards, much worse in cold weather, only right hand affected, been tested for rheumatoid arthritis and it's not that.
Any ideas?

Thanks

it's some form of arthritis to misform joints isn't it?

what did rheumatologist say?

do you have psoriasis?

Didn't see a rheumatologist, just hadbloodtest. no, no psoriasis.

rheumatoid arthritis is not the only arthropathy

what blood test? ESR yes (what were levels and what's your age), what else?

which joins are compromised? top ones?

um...don't knowabout levels
i am 34

are you right-handed and do you use a mouse a lot?

you probably need a referral to a rheumatologist

what did GP say? ruled out ra but what else could it be?

i am right-handedbut dont usea mouse all that much
sorry about naff typing,it hurts!
i amgoing backto gp, all i wastold at the time was that it wasnt ra. Going to makeanother appoointment cos it isgetting worseandworse

demand a referral

good luck

Could it be trigger finger?

uglymugly, i dont think so cos thefingers either side of my middlefingerarebending sideways towards it, andi dont havethe clicking, but thanks for thelink

It couldn't be gout could it? I have a relative who had it and it sounded a bit like that, but I might be wildly out! Think it was very painful but controlled by cutting certain things out of diet. The joints being warped was a symptom of the rest of it rather than the first issue, so p'raps not.

My fingers did that, and it turned out I have coeliac disease, and have auto immune arthritis associated with that

i don't know much about gout...i must find out...

coeliac disease? that'sinteresting.I have just stoppedeating wheat becauseitwas makingmefeel awful
