    I do...started a year ago in ring finger, then pinky, spreading slowly but surely. This was my first sign of osteo, boohoo

    Maybe get a second opinion? It's just one doc....

    In reluctant to believe him because I've been putting off having it really looked at.

      hi katrina

      I have no further info yet except to say we have similar symptoms, including the nose thing 😊, which at least adds a little humor (as long as no one else sees😕

      sees😕wink. Since it began, I've had two back fractures, respiratory failure from bronchiectasis raising 24/7, as well as a paraesophageal hernia. Trying to deal with it has taken all the energy I have . I've had put off seeing anyone about this scary new hand thing. I did show them to my gp in passing oqut of fear it might be RA, and was told I have certain bumps on finger joints characteristic of osteoarthritis.

      I'm sorry to hear you are going through this too. I hope you get treatment which helps.
