Subject: Got my appointment

Hi there - re my swollen finger - doc referred me straight to Reumatology - said they will do blood tests. Got appt already for June 17th but finger really swollen and sore today. I am still not convinced it is something else - the knuckles although sore are not swollen although finger inbetween is????!!!! Also knuckle joining hand feels like it is pulling my finger to bend and it hurts when I straighten it. Oh I dont know!!!! Feels hard aswell - almost like there is a lot of fluid in there.
Hope you are all having a good day.

Christine that's what my hands are like. I described the pain to the Rhuemie like someone is twisting the finger and to stop the pain a bit I just twisted it back. He sent me for a scan and that showed synovitis. I would just keep a record of things happening so you can explain to the Rhuemie.Good Luck ;0)

Thanks KayJay, its just so weird. It can go from swollen and painful one minute then I can bend it normally with slight pain the next. Goes on like that all day.
Gonna call to see if they can put my name on cancellation list.

Do you know, the more I read up on it and look at my finger I am wondering if it is actually trigger finger - although it does not lock it is pulling my finger more and more towards my hand. Oh well, will wait and see.

Is it just the one finger Christine ? Do you have any pain in other parts of your body ?

KayJay - Its one finger on right hand and a tiny bit on one finger of other hand. Feet been achy for a while now (before hand flared up) but not sure what that is. They just ache - no swelling etc. Funny thing is that I know I have some arthritis in my big toe joint and sometimes my thumbs get stiff but at the moment they are fine but finger swollen. Odd!!
