Hi there. I wrote on here the other day regarding my swollen fingers. Well saw my Osteopath (for my back) and doctor today. Mentioned my hand to osteo and she did some work on my hand. She is sure it is NOT RA but thinks it may be connected to my psoriasis. She said she would eat her hat if if was RA!!!! Saw doc who also thought it was linked to psoriasis and now been referred to rheumatologist. Got to continue on anti inflammatories. Osteo also said she sees a lot of swollen fingers when person is peri menapausal which j am. So feel a little less anxious. Just got to wait for appt now.
