Well it looks like I have arthritis in my PIP joints of my fingers, all of my fingers. :-(

The PIP joint is the joint in the middle of the finger.

It makes it painful to type at times, but I'm trying to keep them moving to prevent from locking up on me. smilewinkgrin

That's too bad.

But you have the right attitude....keep them limber. Did the doctor have any other helpful advice, or was it just, "learn to live with it"?

He hasn't called me yet. I was able to get the radiologist report early.
He thought it was arthritis when I saw him last week. The xray was just to confirm it.

Joy, you might check with Red (Sherry) from the UC forum. I know she has this problem and in the past had talked about finding arthritis gloves helpful.

Thanks, Judy. I have issues wearing certain gloves. I have slight webbing on my hands and my fingers are shorter than most people.

( Never asked for dx / treatment for fingers as I have had much more pressing health issues )
