I have OA and sometimes the pain in my hands isn't in the joint, but in the tissue between them. So I suppose it is part of OA.

Your skin contains nerves, nerves are pain detectors/receptors, so the skin feels sore. That's my take on it anyway (but I am not a doc). I hope it eases soon. DDHave you got the despatches? No, I always walk like this. Eddie Braben0

Never heard of this, but are you sure it's the skin?
I have sore knuckles but it's more a case of my skin is so stretched over the dformed joints and due to steriods vey thin so I think it's the joint that hurts and not the skin.
But I don't really know, just an idea.

I tend to think l would try what Val suggests for a while and see if it helps????
Whichever anti-inflammatory you are on.
Hope it eases for you...just a thought....you could always check at the pharmacy??

hi, when i had my interview with the pain clinic that was one of the questions asked. do you get sore skin. answered yes and asked her why she asked that, the answer i got was we all get different types of pain. i am sure she said it was a type of nerve pain,(fibro fog dont help).
i have OA IA and fibro. i get the sore skin feeling in arms legs back chest and the back of my hands. so it is a type of pain for you. hope this helps.0
