Struggling with middle finger/arm.

Hi I am just hoping someone can help me with this ongoing problem. About 5 months ago I had a sharp pain in my middle finger on my right hand, it felt like an electric shock up my forearm, my finger/forearm became swollen sore/very painful, Went to see my GP who thought this might be a blood clot ( because of how swollen they had both become), this was ruled out. Referred me to Limb specialist (from there point of view was nothing to do with my limbs). Emergency referral was made to Rheumatology whom I have seen since. No idea what could be causing my symptoms ( its the 3 fingers now on that hand, cannot straighten them at all, very painful also pain radiating up my forearm). Awaiting MRI Scan on arm/fingers, also blood tests ??? Lupus has also been mentioned, my test originally was 1400 which triggered why I am being tested for Lupus. Anybody else have or have experienced any of these symptoms. Thank You H.

Hi there. I too have a problem with my middle finger on my right hand but mine is a deep calcium lump, (I have a lot of calcium lumps in my arms too). It just appeared about 2 years ago. It can be very painful and has times when it flares up. Hope this helps 🤞

Thank You for your reply. Every little bit of input/information is helpful. Really struggling with that arm now, the pain in my forearm is immense, grip/usage is limited. My fingers are like a claw, I now have nodules appearing. Thank You again for your message.
