Guest Claemore70 Posted September 5, 2002 Share Posted September 5, 2002 Now that the weather has started turning, I've been having a lot of pain when I wake up in the morning. My middle fingers will lock up in the curled position, and stretching doesn't help. Goes away when it warms up, but before long it won't be warming up. Any advice, or similar stories? Thanks, I'm pretty worried. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
RiotGrip Posted September 5, 2002 Share Posted September 5, 2002 Cleamore, Symptoms of Morning Stiffness (I Know hehe), that gets better through the day is more characteristic of Rhematoid arthritis rather than Osteoarthritis. I would see a doctor. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest Claemore70 Posted September 6, 2002 Share Posted September 6, 2002 that figures. I don't trust doctors. Probably a result of my perilous youth? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
RiotGrip Posted September 6, 2002 Share Posted September 6, 2002 If you don't trust doctors, then you should take what I say with a grain of salt. Rheumatoid arthritis is treatable, if that's what you have. I don't know what kind of insurance you have, but if you can see a specialist without a referal, see a Rheumatologist. Like I said, it is treatable. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
