New member..need help & guidance

[Guest guest]

Hi all members

My younger brother (28 yrs), has been having the following symptoms

1. Morning stiffness

2. Pain in the finger joints

3. Pain in the ankles, and feet

4. Stiff back

He is a software professional, and so the doctors originally throught, it was

carpel tunnel syndrome, and operated him on

his middle right finger, for what they said was some kind of

tissue that had covered over the finger-palm joint. The surgery

helped him a little bit, and his finger became a little free

than before, but, very soon, he developed pain in all the

other joints as mentioned above.

I searched the web, and found that, this groups could be of

immense help to me, to approach his future treatment. He has

an appointment with a rheumatologist today. Can you please

reply, as to what we should be asking the doctor, and also,

whether his symptoms, indicate zero negative RA.

I would really appreciate, the support and the information

this group can give, as I find myself, not able to locate

information so easily.

With lots of thanks

Sanjay
