    Hi Bradders and welcome to the forum. I can't really help much as, after 53 years of this, I have the nodules, the witches fingers, the T-shirt and the lot :lol:

    I think it's possible to get finger splints now which might help with the drift and the pain but I don't think there's a way of preventing rheumatic nodules.

    It would have been better to post this on the Living With Arthritis forum rather than Chit Chat. I think you'd get more replies there. It's possible the Moderators will move your thread but, if not, I suggest you copy it over there. Good luck.


    post moved, thanks for the hint :P , easy for us to miss when scrolling through unread. Mod YEH

    Hello Bradders

    Welcome to the forums from me too :)

    A referral to physio/OT for some splints is probably the best idea for you.

    Good luck

    Hello, I concur with the others in that you should see someone about this. What kind of arthritis do you have and what meds are you taking? DD

    Hi, as others have said, splints may help, so a good idea to see an OT.
