So the past couple of weeks i have been getting really sore knuckles. My pointy finger on the right and my middle and ring finger on the left,just on the middle joint.

 It's a tad swollen but not warm to the touch.

 It really smarts to bend. Could it be from thr remicade?

 I go for go for more blood tests next month. Last test result i have my liver count was a bit high.(Dr assured me it was nothing to worry about ) Not sure quite what that ment. I always feel so rushed when i go there, because she is always to darn busy.

Hi TakillRa! When I first started Remicade over two years ago I used to wake up with swollen hands/knuckles and couldn't bend my fingers for an hour or so in the mornings. I checked with my dr who didn't seem concerned about it. Since the Remicade infusions were the only change in my life at the time, I assumed it was some kind of a reaction to it. I also thought maybe it was the beginning stages of arthritis as my dad has a pretty bad case of RA. But it went away after a month or two and I forgot about it until I saw your posting. Give it another week or two and then go back to your dr if it continues. Good luck!
