Guest guest Posted June 22, 1999 Report Share Posted June 22, 1999 I am experiencing something that is new to me and wonder if anyone here has had the same thing happen to them. I am in a flare, and over the last couple of days, one of the mcp joints in my hand which has been really swollen (about 3x normal size) is starting to come down a bit, but it seems that as the joint itself shrinks, the swelling in the tissues, tendons, etc. around the joint is increasing, and the tendon looks really crooked and swollen and pushed off to one side of the joint. The surrounding tissues are raised up above the level of the joint now, so that it looks depressed in the center. I am going to see my doc about it as soon as I can get someone to look after the kids, but in the meantime wonder what is going on in there. There is little pain, but the joint is stiff and won't bend through the full range of motion. Anyone ever experience something like this?
