I was just looking at my wedding photos taken 5 years ago and was shocked to see how lumpy my fingers have become in such a short time, luckily on the wedding unknown to me that things were to change.
I got one straight finger left grrr all my knuckles have enlarged and are painful and my right index finger sticks out like blackpool tower.
I had a lump removed back in February on the underneath of my middle finger ( which wasn't OA related ) and guess what it is growin back. I am so gutted, I got 2 new lumps on the palm of my hand attached to a tendon, so yet to find out how and where they came from. Is this normal for lumps to appear with OA ?

Its often the case I am afraid but sometimes they can go as well..... depending....
I know what you mean though and wish I knew the what to say or the cure. Just remember you are still you and time changes us regardless of the arthritis in appearance only. Hang in there and next time your seen ask about the lumps and bumps cus they might be able to help. Leaving a ((( ))) and a hope flowr. Cris x
I need to get my rings made bigger too as I am struggling to get them on and off and I get really sore underneath them
Its nothing to do with vanity... this shift bone stuff takes so much from us and well i do understand.
My pain doc keeps telling me how ageing pain is.... I look that bad Dotty and well I think when we are down, hurting and feel like we's losing we notice how haggard we look... but ... bet I look older
I really have got premature aging and well flower with luck tomorrow will be a better day.
Oh the lumps though are worth mentioning cus sometimes they can hep. tea and a ((( ))) The old hagged one
I took my son to London for a day out last Wednesday, I still ache today !! I feel dreadful
A big hug to you all xx you all are amazing people and my problems are pretty mild to some on here.
Right there with you over the lament of what you can no longer do but sometimes there are ways round things and you can still do some of the things you used to love?
Tilly has a post over on cc about gardening and you might find some useful bits about ways to get round things on there?
I had to modify my life a lot but still find ways round it..... though not as well as I used to be able to.
The fatigue thing.... its evil eh? Chris calls them duvet days and sometimes we need those as well.
One other thing... flower what ever is happening to others doesn't make what is happening to you less horrible. I haven't worded that very well but I am shaking my self up a bit with some heavy duty trance music
Hang in there, be kind to your self and get someone to look at the lumps cus honestly sometimes they can help. ((( ))) and a cure all cuppa Cris xx
I think we all feel like that at times.....I remember going to see the osteopath that I hadnt seen for a good few years and he said Oh your scoliosis is really bad and he made a couple of other comments......They were things i knew but because he told me them....{I suppose not having seen me for a few years it was more noticeable} I just drove home, sat down and cried......why???? I'm not sure because I knew these things were bad!!!
As for the lumps I have a couple of large warts, one on index knuckle then the next finger has about 4 almost joined together and the next finge has one on the top joint.....been told it could be with OA because nothing will move them.....but I've got another few on the other side of my hand. Bottom of my fingers / top of the palm {does that make sense?}....they dont hurt.....I was told once what they were....2 great long names that didnt sink in and I was told there was nothing could be done about them unless the finger started curling in :x ....Anyway....I was at another consultant {completely un related} and he noticed them and said it was to do with my epilepsy????? I assumed it was my OA.....so I'm not really any wiser now :eek:
Love
