You're on quite a mix of strong meds there! Not sure but maybe one or more may be the culprit? I would see what your GP or Rheumy makes of it.

Hello

Could be a form of trigger finger, talk to your GP regards this problem

You are also on a good tranche of medications, possibly discuss this soup with him

Thanks all. I have a rhuemy nurse app on 17th..will discuss it with him. Hopefully putting me back on controlling meds via inj. ...but he hasn't said what exactly.that depends on my scan outlook I guess.

If you're taking MTX in tablet form it could be that he's changing that to injections. That would also be the perfect opportunity to ask him about your finger.... your 3 pain relief meds too. There may be a better alternative for you.

Hi, funnily enough it is something I have been looking at recently for similar problems.

Have a read up of MYOCLONIC JERKS on the Internet. It makes for some interesting reading and could be the answer to your problem.

Tootles hun and good luck !
