hello! I'm having real trouble with my hands these days. the aspirin isn't doing what it used to, and my other pain relief isn't keeping a lid on it. does anyone else get this odd look? it hurts. tender to touch, to move. I don't know if I need to tell someone. it happens on my pinkies and one or two other fingers, too. one half of the swollen knuckle is firm. x

Take it to your GP as could be osteoarthritis, hebderens node, ganglia or all sorts..
That sounds nasty. In your place I'd be be wanting to see a doctor pdq. Wishing you better
You need to find out what it is hazmatrec so go see your GP - take photos (or get someone else to) - in case you can only get a telephone appointment as the GP may ask you to send photos in. Good luck. x
I would let a doc see that before the cold weather sets in and brings its own delights. Good luck.
thanks folks. so much fun doubting my own judgement when something is wrong , bleah. kinda worrying to me too that the thumb itself is swollen, not just the knuckle. I'll give the gp a ring. I've already had two days where I've worn gloves outside. cold season starts early for me. x
