Knobbly fingers.....

[bevlin]

This is a weird condition that we have! Have had a slightly deformed right hand....knobbly knuckles, swan finger etc.....for years now but have always had a normal left hand. Woke up this morning to find two of the fingers on my left hand have gone bulbous and knobbly near the nail. No pain whatsoever, not even a tingling....just funny looking fingers! Oh well, guess that's my hand modelling days over......

Often knob led near the fingers can be a sign of osteoarthritis too, well mine are!! Worth getting them checked out tho ? Xxx

My consultant said ive got osteoarthritis in my hands and feet and RA everywhere else! I just go d it so weird that the fingers bend overnight without any pain..... Couldn't believe it when I saw them this morning !

Do they look like this, bevlin?

Nail clubbing like this can be associated with psoriasis/PsA, but can also be a sign of lung problems, so it's worth getting it checked out.

No , it's like a knobbly bit on the joint closest to the fingernail. My right hand is quite gnarled but my left one was normal so wS surprised to see them this morning especially as hadn't felt any pain !
