Seizure in thumb

[Voutton]

Can anyone help me with this Last night I went to pick up something with my left hand and my thumb just stiffened and seized It would not move and I had to get my husband to massage it till it eventually released. It still doesn't feel right I've had my whole body seize where it just won't rend to my brain but this was so different I am on 30mg pred 15mg of methotrexate 200mg hydroxychlorequine plus the usual pain and other drugs Thanks any info would be helpful

Yes, my left thumb does the same thing , is it the lupus? Doc says yes, not so sure. Let me ask you this ? Does this thumb problem move around

? First my hip is so bad can't walk, couple days later its my knees, sometimes everything a at once. Other times its just a certain part . Is that lupus or something else !

I have had it with various fingers. My husband massages out. Almost like a locking feeling.

Hi when I was first diagnosed 30 odd years back I had this problem, the thumb used to lock for no reason and was quite painful. The next time I saw my rheumy I mentioned this and he said it was a classic symptom of Lupus known as Lupus thumb. I have occasional bouts of the thumb going into this spasm, just put up with it now. Hope this has helped.
