Inflammatory nodular osteoarthritis
hello,
I am new here and would like to know if anyone else has had a diagnosis (or impression as all my letters say)?
I am feeling quite frustrated as there is no information about this on versus arthritis, I am told it is not the same as osteoarthritis and most non rheumatology medics say there is no such thing.
What information I have found says it is usually post menopausal women in there 50s. It usually burns out in 1-3 years and only DIPs and PIPs are affected. I was 43 when it started and 3 years later I am not even perimelnopausesal, and my knuckles, wrists, toes and ankles are also affected.
My symptoms do match the symmetrical and aggressive one of inflammatory osteoarthritis. I started with 4 joints and within a year every joint in both hands had nodules and pain.every time I notice one nodule on one hand there is one on the other hand although they are not the same size.
My knuckles have nodules which is unusual apparently.
thanks

Hi @AlliO Have you managed to find out any further information about this? I've been having a look around and some of the information on inflammatory arthritis might help. However we are no medically trained so hopefully people who have direct experience will respond.
Best wishes
