Guest guest Posted January 8, 2004 Report Share Posted January 8, 2004 Hi! I am still in the dx process of RA. Something I have noticed about my middle finger on each hand is that from the middle knuckle joint to the top of the finger, they are crooked and are moving towards the little finger. Is this common with RA? I also have a lot of pain in my shoulder blades in my back and trouble lifting. I think this is the only time in my life that I am rushing time to go by. My appt. with the rheumy isn't until February 5th!! Holly Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest guest Posted January 8, 2004 Report Share Posted January 8, 2004 I'm sorry you are having so much trouble. If things are getting worse, don't wait for your appointment but call your doctor to see if something can be done sooner. That might be an earlier appointment or some medication prescribed without another visit. Good luck and God bless. ----- Original Message ----- From: hollyjeanmagee Rheumatoid Arthritis Sent: Thursday, January 08, 2004 5:59 AM Subject: Crooked fingers?? Hi!

Guest guest Posted January 8, 2004 Report Share Posted January 8, 2004 My fingers are crooked and my shoulders hurt a lot. I can't lift and have lots of trouble toweling off my back, getting dressed and undressed or even raising my arms above my head. I've had RA and I've been suffering with these symptoms for over 9 years. Good luck, > Hi! I am still in the dx process of RA.
