hi, I have been havening trouble with my hands and fingers, my fingers are bending and I now have lumps appearing on them and I am in a lot of pain, as normal I get its the fibro, but is it? my nails are also bending slightly too, I also get hand swelling not a lot but you can see the difference as my left hand doesn't swell but my fingers are also bent is anyone else have these problems
thanks louisew
Hi
I advise you to see your GP as this seems to be a new symptom for you. Although fibro can cause pain and swelling in the hands I do not think it can be blamed for bent fingers.
I am not medically qualified to give you a diagnosis although a guess would be arthritis.
I know your last appointment was disappointing, choose a different doctor this time! Do not hope and wait for it to get better, make that appointment!

Hi i managed to get one today but she said its the fibro, im in hospital next month so hope i can get an answer thank you
Louisew
Fibro can cause very painful hands but as Hidden says it sounds more like arthritis. I get the same with knobbly joints and in the joints that are really bad it makes the top of my finger bend over so I can't completely straighten them. If these symptoms are worrying you do have a word with your GP and perhaps some treatment.x
Hi ihave fibo and i getpain in my handsand swealing and have got lumps coming outon my fingers but was told could beto do with authriteus
Hi louisew
I really am so genuinely sorry to read this and as the others have said it does sound a lot like arthritis? I would definitely talk to your doctor about this just to get other medical conditions ruled out of the equation.
I want to genuinely and sincerely wish you all the best of luck, and please take care of yourself.
All my hopes and dreams for you

Sounds more like Rhumatiod Arthritus to me . At least it's treatable . Check out with your Drs.

Hi Louisew,
It's a long time since I've been on this amazing forum. I also have a similar problem in my hands and feet, my nails are now deformed. I suffer, and I mean I really do suffer with psoriatic arthritis. Those of you who have it will understand the pain. I pray that YOU don't have this condition. What does your GP say? Have you seen a specialist Consultant about your condition? It may not be psoriatic arthritis, there are so many medical conditions out there, you must seek medical help. I wish you all the best.
hugs

Hi yes iv got little lumps come up on the joints of my fingers but i thought that it was my ostio
I am in hospital in december so i am hoping for some answers fingers crossed i will let everybody know when i do thank you for your reply
Louisew
Hi louisew
Am sorry to hear that you have this problem, after reading what you said it does sound like arthritis that causes fingers to bend etc, my Mum had the same trouble it's not RA as that doesn't do that, I wear hand braces when it gets bad that does give some relief, have you tried any creams or sprays I have Wintergreen Heat Spray, ginger, Red Tiger Balm is also good or Pernatron which is a cream.
Hope you find some relief soon take care keep smiling
Love & Hugs
😀thank you i will take your advise i said to the dr about any braces and she said not to but i am going to i think
Thank you
I have bent fingers can't make a fist they tell me it's ra and the damage is giving g me ostioatheritus it's so confusing
Hi Junebee
As I said my Mum had R.A. very bad and osteoarthritis, but they say it is only the osteo that curls and bends the fingers, one Dr told my Mum to put her hand on the desk and he got a thick needle and pushed it straight through the tendon of the finger, which did stop it bending, they can operate on your hands but with all the cutbacks might be considered by them as a minor ailment.
Hope you get some relief soon take care and keep on smiling
Love & Hugs
They say the only operation the can do if fuse my fingers but added they are doing it by themselves I have. Very little use in hands now
Hi louiseW- sounds a bit like you have some R.A sprouting -- have you got hand splints to wear or lycra gloves? What medication do you take? I.ve not come across anyone on our forum with symptoms of this nature to do with fibro...
Hi caz i am on sulfazasline and gabapentin and cellabrex ect, and im finding everyday things a struggle, i do have fibro along with psoriatic arthropathy, i just wonder if it is all conected its getting me really down ☹️️
Louisew
Hi I have fibro but I also have dupuytrens contracture which affects the tendons in the hand and can eventually cause the hands to be claw like if left untreated apparently there is an operation that's helps It causes lumps in the palm of the hands don't know if this is similar to what you have? Apparently it's a genetic thing but I don't know of anyone in my family with it. All the best
I have no idea my hands swell and fingers and now lumps apearing on them i cannot grip with my right hand at all now
Louisew
It sounds like something called Hebredian nodules Not sure the Hebredian is spelt that way , I have it and it's arthritis x
