Guest guest Posted October 12, 2004 Report Share Posted October 12, 2004 Hello everyone, I have not yet been diagnosed with rheumatoid arthritis. My orthopedist, from my knee surgery for PVNS, recommended that I get blood work done for RA. My primary doctor is sending the forms by mail. My question is, do most of you have similar problems in multiple areas of the body? From what I've read, if a person is affected in one hand, it generally affects the other hand with similar symptoms.I found a lump in my right hand about a month ago. The lump itself does not hurt, but my knuckles and surrounding area of the mass hurt. I've been taking pictures of my hand on a weekly basis to compare. I've had physical changes to the look and feel of my hand, including an odd groove under my ring finger. But it doesn't look like any photos I've seen on the internet of RA. I put a few photos up here. Does this look familiar to anyone? Thanks, Joanne Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
