Guest guest Posted December 12, 2010 Report Share Posted December 12, 2010 Hello! I am on this board because I know something is happening to my hands and feet, but I'm not sure which arthritis it is! I am a 40 yr old female. I have Raynauds Disease, so I have lived with cold hands and feet for as long as I can remember! I also have Ocular Myasthenia Gravis, which, fortunately is mild, and I'm not on regular Mestinon for it. My question is about my hands and feet- I have a bone spur on the back of my left hand. All my knuckles are large for my hands. I get pains at the base of my thumbs when its cold. I have knots on the 2nd joints of all my fingers. My feet ache most all day, no matter how many shoes I try! I have knots on the sides of both first toes and the first joints are painful at times. When I wake up, I stumble around on the soles of my feet because my feet are so stiff it hurts to walk. I also have knots on the edge of both baby toes, which are misshapen and hurt. Sorry for my line-up of complaints, just wanted your input! Hines Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
