It says, There are severe degenerative changes within the middle to little fingers DIP joints bilaterally with more moderate degenerative of the MCP & PIP joints.

    @Alison_B1968 feel free to vent. Or even say your feeling better now it was all a big mistake (not really). I found it was helpful to start different threads for the progress of different things, it's really important to have somewhere you can do that.
