I know this isn't serious and it's not like it hurts or anything like that,

but I thought I would ask anyway. I have swelling between the knuckles on

the backs of both hands and sometimes the swelling extends about third of the

way down to my wrists. Since I first noticed the swelling a couple of years

of ago, it has never went away. It's not a nodule, in fact they are soft

and puffy. My doc says that it's from the arthritis, I just never have read

anyone else on the list with this and wondered if anyone else has this on their

hands and if they know a bit more about it.

i have the same thing. I was told by the docs that its from the

arthritis and just to keep an eye on it. Do you work alot with your hands?

Sometimes that can cause them to swell... hugs
