Hi ive been diagnosed with sero neg arthur, and my consultant has said he need to see swelling in hands, i have taken pictures of my feet and the lovely swelling they produce, but as of yet have no visible swelling in my hands just the burning of inflammation, and stiffness it brings, whilst im very grateful there is no swelling as only had it once during the night, and the camera was the last thing i was looking for at 3am in the morning, im feeling slightly fraudulent any one else have this problem thanks guys and gals soraya x

    Hi Soraya,

    I have pain and no swelling. The only real swelling I have is my ankle y the end of the day, it's been that way ever since I had it replaced 8 years ago (well almost 9 now). Having said that my knees are quite big compared to my legs but I would't say swollen also they are not really painful! I don't know why these Dr's have to see swelling it's mad. I've also had a good CRP and still been in pain. This whole disease is a bloody mystery!!
    Take care,
    Anita x
