I have an odd question, and was wondering if anyone else had experienced this. On remicade since NOV 2016

The question I have; I have developed multiple occurrences of Mallet finger/baseball finger (3 fingers to be exact). I was wondering if anyone else on remicade had experienced this, or if any one else had suffered from any tendon related issues??

Basically, mallet finger is an issue where the tendon that holds the tip of your finger straight snaps, and causes a bend in your finger. It can be fixed if I wear a brace, which I am doing, and have fixed one occurrence so far. Just curious to hear if anyone else is going through something similar.

TIA

I never did well on biologics, the side effects were totally unmanageable for me, but most people do very well. We used to have a moderator here though, Red_34, she had tendon/trigger finger issues and had to have surgery. I think her issues came up more often while flaring and weren't related to biologics though. She had them long before she was on biologics.

over 20 years on Remicade and no problems due to it. Best of luck to you.
