I'm 18 with major pinky locking and hand inflammation,weakness, numbness, tendon sliding, and bone spur in my left hand but right hand only doesn't have tendons and bone spur. I have molina which sucks bc i can't find a rheumatologists that will run through it and my old hand surgeon said its urgent i see one only for some reason he thinks i dont have RA but could is be OA? Or Dupuytren's contracture? I'm suffering and i feek like no one can help here ..

My wife had something similar, with her pinkie. It was caused by a gangolin pressing on a nerve the surgeon moved the nerve.

Hi Lilynette,

sorry to hear that you are having so many problems. I am guessing that you are in the States? This is a UK based health forum and although we do have many members from across the world I'm not sure how many people will be able to help you with suggestions as to how to get better help in the States. The healthcare system here as I am sure you know is very different . If you are in the States, have you tried the Arthritis Foundation to see if they can help?
