stinging tendons
Hi
In April I badly bent 2 of my fingers back lifting a heavy wire basket, this caused all the fingers on my left hand to become so swollen and stiff I couldn't move them. After an Xray showed no break I finally got to see a nurse at our GP surgery who suspected RA.The blood test came back normal and I am waiting to be referred to a Rheumatologist.
Both hands are now very stiff and sore though the swelling has all but gone. The tendons in my fingers sting if I bend or straighten my fingers and leaning my hands on a desk to type really hurts the bones at the little finger side of my wrist but my actual joints don't hurt, is this what people with RA experience?

Hi @LynH
thank you for getting in touch with the forum, I am sure you will find the support and information you need through the forum.
It sounds very painful, I am glad you were able to get your hand checked out by your medical team. As you will see from posts on this forum, there are a range of symptoms and individual experiences of living with Rheumatoid arthritis (RA). I have added links to the two most common types of arthritis RA and Osteoarthritis (OA).
