hi
have pain in my left hand thumb. It can be felt up to nearly the base of my thumb. Worse in the morning but continual during day.

I also have pain in my 3rd finger in my right hand. Worse in morning when I wake up, and locks when I bend it.
Would appreciate any advice
thank you
Charles

    Hi Charles,

    Thank you for your message to helplines. I am sorry to hear that you have been experiencing pain in your finger and thumb.

    You don't mention what type of arthritis you have, so I wonder if you have been to see your doctor to discuss what could be going on for you?

    You might find our booklet 'Understanding Arthritis' useful:

    https://www.arthritiscare.org.uk/what-is-arthritis/resources/299-understanding-arthritis

    If you do already know which type of arthritis you have, we can provide more specific information. Please feel free to contact us on our freephone helpline: 0808 800 4050 Mon - Fri 10am-4pm or if email is easier: helplines@arthritiscare.org.uk

    I hope this helps,

    Best wishes,

    Emma-Jane, Helplines.

    hi Emma,
    thanks for your reply. I haven't had a full diagnosis from my doctor. I will be seeing him next Tuesday 10th May. I will get back in touch then.
    many thanks
