Hi everyone, I started to notice how painful the fingers in my left hand were in the summer of 2020.

I had a phone consultation with my GP in January and saw him within a week. In days, I was offered a phone consultation with a specialist. Two days ago he gave me an injection in my finger. It hurt very much at the time and for a day later.

Today it is feeling rather better.

Thank goodness for the NHS (in conjunction with private medicine!


Now, though, should I take paracetamol/ibuprofen regularly and use Voltarol gel routinely?
